1813 vs 1913 barreled action

[glr1]

I have a 1813 but the barrel is getting too heavy for me,need info on 1913 barreled action
Weight,is it lighter than 1813?

[Martin Catley]

Try the 1807 or 1907 which has a lighter Barrel all the rest of the rifle is much the same weight.

As Martin said try the 07. Best to rebarrel the one you have than buy a new one unless the one you have is new. Also another option is to put on a 500mm barrel and bloob tube. It weighs very close to the 07 barreled action.

As above, there is no appreciable difference between an 1813 and a 1913 barrel/action. Both have a nominally 690mm long x 24mm diameter barrel. An 1807 or 1907 barrel/action (660mm x 22mm) is about 300g lighter.

If having a gunsmith fit a lighter barrel to the 1813 action (or removing, shortening, and rechambering the 1813 barrel), a 54.30 barrel action would fit an 1813 stock, and has the lighter 07 profile.

Tim is correct. The 1813 690 has a slightly smaller bulb at the muzzle. The 54.30 is much lighter; had to add weight to the stock to increase the hold inertia to equal the 1813 and 1913. Setting the barrel back and rechambering sounds like the simplest solution. I was just discussing that option with my gunsmith for converting a 1913 690 barrelled action to a silhouette setup.
