[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 23436, member: 12"] try these steps 1. Weaver bases 2. Millet rings (Davidson bases and rings are aluminum under $100 from Sinclair or others also) 3. Change bolt shroud 4. Check stock for where you can mill and drill out to cut weight. 5. flute barrel (alone can cut 4-8 oz) That is more than enough to cut 3 oz and will cost less than $200-225 normally. Accuracy is not affected by any of these. Fluting will change barrel harmonics and you will have to go through load development though. [/QUOTE]
