[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 121148, member: 8843"] The differance in weight between the 30 cal and 338 cal barrel fo same conture would be no noticable. If your gonna shave weight the barrel would be the last place to go , you could get a lighter stock , use Aluminum rings and bases set the gun up as an ADL instead of a BDL all in all you might be able to trim a pound and a half maybe more or less. I would go with the Sendero conture and have it heavly fluted , call Dan Lilja or Mike Rock and talk to them about what you want they'll know best about the barrel conture and flute size to maximize stiffness and minimize weight. BUT , barrels don't have to be big and heavy to shoot accuratly , especialy if your using it for an Elk rifle where you might have to make 3 shots but generaly one will do it. Check out Hightech Specialties for a light stock also Lone Wolf ,I have one of their Carbon thumb holes and its simply awsome [/QUOTE]
