A Savage plastic stock is going to be the lightest you'll find at around 22 to 24 oz. A Savage birchwood stock with walnut finish only weighs a few ounces more. I went with the Stockade Hunter (28 oz) with the blind magazine. Forget a stock with the drop box magazine and hinged floorplate hardwear, since it will add about 9 oz to the overall weight of the rifle verses the blind magazine. Look at barrel contour and length to reduce the most weight. My hunting rifle weighs 8 lbs with a Savage LA, Stockade Hunter stock, 22" FW contour barrel in .260 and Leupold compact scope. In comparison, switching to my 24" A&B magnum contour barrel in .338-06 adds 25 oz in weight to the rifle. That might explain why a magnum bore rifle seems to get heavier with age. ;D
