Could a guy have a 26” #5 contour barrel on a remmy 700 action with a Bell & Carlson or HS precision stock & keep the bare rifle weight to around 8lbs? I want to upgrade my 700DM 300wm with a barrel & stock but keep cost to a minimum. Any suggestions are welcome.👍🏻
Im at 9# with manners elite stock, 28” carbon barrel sendero.
I want it to be a well balanced hunting rifle with 800 yd accuracy but not be over 9lbs. I have a tikka superlight in 7RM. While it is super accurate, I find it a bit difficult to shoot accurately out to distance being so light. Thinking something 8-9 would be the ticket but not have to lug a 12-13 lb Lr rifle into the high country. Am I dreaming having a tight budget?

Wondering if factory magazine length with heavy for caliber bullets would be an issue in either the 700DM 300 wm or tikka 7 mag?
