Tomorrow I am ordering a Savage Model 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmore and I am a little worried about the weight. They list it as 11 pounds. I need to get this down to 10lbs 2oz with scope and rings. I already have an HS Precision lightweight stock to put it in, and I will also be shedding the bottom metal and box magazine. I'll be running this as a single shot.
I am REALLY hoping that the stock weighs at least 3lbs, maybe a little closer to 4lbs. My HS Precision stock is right at 2lbs, and I'll be running a Leupold 24x fixie (14oz). If I have to I will cut off two inches of the 26" barrel but it would be nice if I can avoid that because I will be selling the barrel once my Shilen barrel comes in (7 month wait).
So... could I talk any of you fellas into weighing your LRP stock for me? (With bottom metal and box mag)
