Edit: ok, looks like you are planning an 18” Carbon barrel. Good deal. I would look at a lighter buttstock. The MDT @26oz is NOT very light!
I agree that the buttstock could be a good place to save a little weight, but I'm having trouble finding something lighter that offers adjustable comb height. Even a standard a2 buttstock weighs 18oz or so with the buffer tube. An XLR lightweight could save 4oz, but that's the same I could save on the bolt handle and a bolt handle is much cheaper.
