[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 3069484, member: 8394"] If the barrel fits in a boat paddle stock its probably stil a fairly light taper like a #3. Still a thinner profile than most carbon barrels. Easiest would be flutes (not a ton of weight but not nothing) and maybe accept a few fps loss and loose a few inches of barrel length. Sometimes it's just enough to change the feel of a rifle. Rugers are hard to put on a diet, the action, bolt and rings aren't exactly svelte nor is the dbm. Sadly ruger makes a couple guns nobody else makes... last one got 6 deep flutes and 2 inches lopped off and it was still chunky compared to a kimber or remington seven but it did help. [/QUOTE]
