Does anybody know the weight of a Remington 40x .22 long rifle single shot action and bolt?

The one I have is right at 33 oz. with action, bolt, jewell trigger and lug. Hope this helps with your build.

Thank you cheapshot, that is a great help, trying to figure out what contour barrel I can go with.

I used a Hart 24", medium sporter @ around .68 (I think) at the muzzle. With a maple stock it makes hunter weight with ease using a 6.5-20 EFR, Weaver double strap rings and bases.speedy wrote:Thank you cheapshot, that is a great help, trying to figure out what contour barrel I can go with.

Grizz has one that Gary sold him, it has a good sized barrel and still makes weight.

Re: Remington 40x action weight
I don't know that particular stock, but unless it's a lot heavier than it sounds like it will be you should make hunter weight with a fair amount of room to spare. I know people with heavier taper barrels than that that are at least a few inches longer that make weight for hunter with lightweight stocks like the Pharr and Wooster designs.

Re: Remington 40x action weight
It's all going to come down to the barrel taper, mine has the 24" target barrel, no way it would make 8.5 lbs.

Re: Remington 40x action weight
Mine has the original standard bbl on it, cut and crowned back to 21"... PTG fluted aluminum striker and shroud... and a bare-bones Pharr stock at 23oz. to make weight with a 24X Weaver. It can be done.
