I would definately not go to a Savage factory stock over a Duramax if it were me. I cant see it saving much weight. With fluting a 22" barrel you will probably not even notice the difference when carrying it. I cant see it shaving more than a few ounces off it.
Recontouring it will save you the most weight, depending on how much you wanna take off of it. But then you'd also have to buy a new muzzlebrake. Before I did it though I would find out from ER Shaw why it is a safety concern in a smaller contour in their barrels. Sounds kinda odd.
How much does the gun weigh now?
