I don't think you can make 5.5 lbs. A Stevens 200 308 w/ 22" barrel is 6.5 lbs according to Savage website. You aren't going to make a barrel much thinner than a sporter and cutting an inch off will not save a full pound. I think a 6.0 pounder with a realistic. However, Savage does claim to get the Model 11 Lightweight Hunters down to 5.5 lbs with a wood stock & a 20" barrel. Not sure how they save that much weight. Tim
