[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3200527, member: 423"] Added it up, I forgot a part, so I'm at $700 plus shipping / transfer. However, some of those parts have been "indefinitely" out of stock. Also, I found a used Vortex Venom for $165 vs new cost of $225+. With the Vortex warranty, I'm ok with that; and I've seen similar deals elsewhere too, so it might still be possible. Some there are way better cost/weight ratios. Watch for sales for sure! The build I would recommend if you are starting from scratch would be about $875 + shipping at multiple places + transfer fee. But it would shave an additional ~10oz from mine, for a total of just under 4.25lbs. If you would like that build list I can provide it. I hate posting tabular information directly into the forum, because it scrambles the formatting so badly. PM me an email address and I'll just send the excel sheet. After having mine for over a year now, at sub 5lbs it's toy like. Under 4.25lbs would be awesome. The sub 4lb build I posted in the other thread would be just silly light. [/QUOTE]
