How light can you get a tikka?

@ReaptheHeat thanks a ton for those weights.

Action is 1lb 3oz? I thought folks were saying its 30oz? Or does 30oz include the mag, screws and bottom metal?

I have mine slathered in devcon right now bedding it in that^ stock, so I can weigh it later when I pull it out.

The action I weighed is just the trigger and the action housing. No bolt or bottom "metal", screws. etc. Merely weighed to make a comparison to my superlite barrel still on an action.

I just weighed the bottom metal, magazine, trigger, action screws, bolt, and housing = 32 oz. BUT, I have a titanium bolt knob and handle. I reckon stock is 32.5 oz or so. Bear in mind I'm on a kitchen scale haha. Let me know if you need any other weights.
 
Just put all my lightest weight tikka components together. Tikka t3 308 22" factory barrel. Stockys vg2, burris ff2 in talley lightweights, srs 6" arca/pic rail
6lbs 12.2 Oz with no mag.
 
Oregunsmithing LRH with heavy micarta butt plate, Backstop recoil pad, QD cups and two Spartan Gunsmith adapters = 25 oz.
Do you like the Backstop pad? The fact it is plastic and dead straight (rather than curved) suggests to me that getting it mounted to the shoulder would feel weird?

I am open minded which is why I am asking.
 
It's squishy enough (in the first layer) to conform to my shoulder pocket. Mine was spec'd for 6.5 CM in a ~8# rifle, can't speak for other configurations they offer.
