Action lightening question?

[Elkmasterwyo]

I'm looking to lighten a model 70 action. Has anyone had this done? If so I'm looking for reccomenations on a Smith that does it? Also how much weight I'd be looking at losing if I did the action and bolt?

I did on a 700

Twisted Barrel slab sided the action and fluted the bolt


Gre-tan firing pin assembly - a lot of weight saving was here


Weights are listed here

I did it more for a different look

You can skeleton the bolt handle as well for a little more weight savings.
