First I would like to thank whoever started this forum ,it's great, wish I had found it years ago.

I am planning on building a DR on a 16ga Sauer action, cal. to be 9.3x74.
My question is what weight can I expect from the finished rifle?
I would like to end up with a rifle around 8 lbs.
How thin coulld I turn the barrels at the muzzel?

I built a 450-400 DR on a Merkel action and it weighs over 11 lbs., altough it is an easy rifle
to shoot it was just to heavy last deer season.

Any ideas?

thanks Dale
