    Gunsmithing Oversized Actions for 338 Lapua?

    17lbs sounds close to what I would like, maybe 15lbs total with a thinner profile, 26" barrel. Approximately how much weight would an Al receiver save over a steel receiver?

    Gunsmithing Oversized Actions for 338 Lapua?

    Thanks for the info. Would prefer a repeater, but I don't mind hearing about single shots also. Took a look at the Python, it's aluminum with steel insert, but rifles built on it are estimated at 17lbs!

    Question About Rebarreling to Larger Caliber
