So, I would recommend saving some money and getting the Remington Compact stock (same pattern), in standard fiberglass for your Savage.

Searching for a lightweight stock for a savage is like the search for the Holy Grail. I am just about ready to quit my job and learn how to make rifle stocks, so I can solve this issue myself lol. Hope this helps someone on their search. If someone ever does find decent lightweight savage stock please please let us know.
Been down that exact same road with McMillan in my quest for a better stock for the 16 LWH I ordered. They won't even do the Edge with Edge fill for a blind mag Savage. No luck with Manners either as they will only make their EH8 for a Savage with the aluminum Mini-Chassis which negates any weight savings.

Factory tupperware weighs right at 2 pounds, about the same as the McM Compact with fiberglass fill. You'd get your stiffer forearm, but no weight savings.
