    The D99 drilling are quite the work of art, as are the K95 single shot rifles.

    I was looking at a drilling yesterday on the blaser site thinking what calibers I'd have. I couldn't really decide.

    Let's say you got one what barrels would you have?

    I want to buy a new fly rod this season and there won't be any change from a grand.

    A bedding block cant be that hard to make and a stock that has been run over or dropped off a bluff must be around somewhere, get one and give it to someone with a cnc mill, probably spit out 30 an hour.

    Haha! The lab is compulsory. Bought a 243 kimber the other day - now that thing is too light. Nice to carry all day but I probably couldn't hit anything with it in a standing shot. Needs a suppressor to make it a bit more front heavy.

I might look at adding some carbon wrapped barrel's if the weight saving is worthwhile.
    With after market saddle mount, lighter scopes and carbon wrapped barrel it lost 1 1/2 lbs.
    I also lost some weight in the stock.
    (Original offroad)

    I had exactly the same set up as you with fluted barrels and march.
    My .223 set up is heavier now than my .260
