LWH Action weight

[Savage170]

Does anyone have the weight of a Savage Lightweight Hunter action, including assembled bolt with stock handle? I am assuming screws and bottom metal are the same as the rest. If not what is different about the bottom metal?

TIA,

Well, the 16/116 LWH models don't have bottom metal as it's cast into the synthetic stock like an Axis or Trophy Hunter. On the 11/111 LWH it's a separate plastic piece. Both the 16/116 and 11/111 LWH models use Axis-style mags with the plastic bottom plate and retention clip.

The short actions receivers are only 1-1/4 oz. lighter than a standard version. A long action complete with bolt, smooth barrel nut and acculug weighs 2 lbs.

+1 on less than 1.5 oz weight difference between standard action and LWH action. Most of the weight difference between the Savage LWH and the Savage Trophy Hunter is in the factory barrel. The 20” LWH barrel is 2 lbs vs 2 lbs, 6 oz for the 22” sporter barrel. Stocks, bottom plastic TG and Axis-style DBM are the same on both rifles.

But when building a rifle on the LWH action make a much more unique rifle for the milling of the action as well as the bolt
