Put it in a 21 ounce McMillan Compact Edge model.

Try HS Precision, your order can be customized, are tough, normally full aluminum bedding. I really love the one I have on my Savage.

Enjoy!

McMillan Edge or HiTech specialities

While H-S is a decent stock, most typically go around 36 ounces, which will probably ADD weight to the original set-up, not reduce it.

Look at Brown Precision Kevlar for light weight. They have a "pounder" (about 16oz before bedding and pad). I have two for hunting.

have not done business with them in a long time but is MPI still around? I just got one backin the shop i did 20years ago . hunted hard and held up well you paint them . Don't know exact weight but it was the lightest at the time . Also Mark Bansner makes his own stocks claims to be very light . The Rifler
