Sorry guys. The custom vs semi custom was supposed to be a joke. I already know what I’m getting. This will be mainly a hunting rifle. Elk, nilgai and any other big critter I may fancy.
I hope you're planning on a 26" finish.
Mine is a "Light Palma" contour, with Kampfield sprial flutes. It is lighter than it looks. I did tote it for a week at 9000' to 11,000' it really wasn't a problem. I've also carried it many a mile in Terrel county, Texas, still not bad to tote in that rocky ground. Mine is in a Manners T-4, it balances well. But if you really wanted to shave weight a Manners EH-1 would do that. It'll get barrel heavy, though.
