The M40 by B&C weighs 2.75 pounds according to their website and the B&C sporter weighs 2.25 pounds. The website isn't as specific as I would like on the barrel channel as it states " standard contour". I am not sure if you could open up the channel enough, so I wont guess. Hopefully someone else can answer that for you.
A few possibilities for you: Boyds has the Featherweight thumb-hole stock that weighs 2.5 pounds in long action and stockade has their thumb-hole that weighs 28-32 ounces. Mcmillian has multiple styles of stocks that weigh 2 pounds. Also ran into a company named TPI they claimed very light stocks like 16-20 ounces light, but the prices were steep.
I cant speak on the weight of the Boyd pro varmint stock but its likely on their website. This is all info off the websites as I am also in search of a light and stiff stock for a couple of my savage builds. 11.5 pounds wouldn't be fun to pack around the Utah mountains where I hunt, and if I had a rifle that I was packing that weighed that much it would be a big magnum not a 260. Hope this helps and good luck.
