Do a .243 and don't look back. Talk to Gary at Bighorn because benchmarks are good barrels and he can get you a Rem MR contour.
I finished my Wildcat Model 7 stock with a 1/2 Pachmyer recoil pad painted and bedded at 21oz which is silly light. Stu at wildcat has his patterns and that's it. No custom jobs.

Use Mitch Kendal in Kamloops for your stock work; I wouldn't let Corlanes bed and paint a boat anchor for me after my experiences with them. Mitch understands ultralight.

Do Talleys and the 2.5-8 or 6x leupolds. The UL series are as bright and useful as a retard in a cave.

I did a very similar build with the 6x in .284 and it weighed 6lbs flat.

OK - well I've got the optics and barrel parts figured for the most part. Thanks for all the suggestions. VX-3 .25-8 it has to be. I've been really happy with the one I've got, so can't see going with the UL to save 1.5 oz and lose a good amount of eye relief and quality...

Thanks for the advice on the barrels. Like I mentioned, I've been really happy with my pac-nor, but I will have to look into the benchrest barrels - I'm not too familiar.

Keep the stock suggestions coming though. I'm still a little hazy on the process for the wildcats given they come from basically unfinished... I'll PM some of you who have done it before. What about McMillan? Who brings them in? I assume they make a mtn contour barrel channel? And are B+C worth looking at?

I just got a Bell and Carlson Alaskan II for my model seven and while it feels lighter than their other medalist stocks it's not anywhere near as light as a McMillan Edge or Wildcat.
If you're going for super light you're probably stuck with McMillan, Wildcat or Bansner/High Tech.

B&C Model 7 stocks are NOT light But they are way lighter then the Stock Remy M7 Syn- mine weight at least 32-33 0z's
