[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1982382, member: 78569"] I had a SA done with the ejection port opened up, slabbed on the left side only along the ejection port length and slabbed on the right hand side. It saved 1.7 oz. I probably could have saved another .2 or .3 oz by removing more but I wanted to have some aesthetics left over. You could save the same amount of weight by skeletonizing the bolt handle, adding aluminum bolt knob, AL shroud, and aluminum firing pin. I think my action with bolt weights slightly over 26 oz. I think for the amount of work that was put into that action and it still being a R700, a Defiance AnTi might be my next route. [/QUOTE]
