I built a 30-338 on a commercial Husky 5000 smallring magnum action,with a #3 Lilja bbl in a 20 oz Hi-tec stock.The bbl channel is free-float,but I did a solid bed job in Steel-bed in the receiver area.It did contribute to the rifle's weight.In this case,thats OK,but if I was tryng to keep weight down,I would not select steel-bed.
