Ultralight rifle build

[whoami-72]

In the next year or two I’m considering piecing together an ultralight hunting rifle build. Sub 6.5lbs for sure but hoping to be under 6lbs and closer to 5 if a bolt gun. Unsure of the platform yet. Either AR-10 or bolt action. Must be 6.5creed or bigger caliber. I’m thinking of something similar to the seekins havak element. What’s everyone been building?

The possibilities are endless. I have a Cooper model 92 backcountry 6.5x284 with a zeiss 5-25 that is a dream to carry. It’s also a fun gun to shoot out of the box. Trigger is good and it’s balanced well for such a light rifle.
