Just an FYI for the ounce counters, I've got weights on both kimber and tikka rifles:
Basically the difference between a kimber Mountain ascent and a tikka superlite barreled action (all else being equal) is about 10oz.
44.4oz Mountain Ascent barreled action (308win cut to 16 inches)
54.4oz Tikka Superlite 308win cut to 16 inches, with an aggressively fluted bolt and an mtngear ti bolt nob (the original stainless fluted, like you get at Sportsmans not the heavier fluted barrel in the roughtech stock).
57oz Tikka superlite 223rem cut to 16
56.1oz tikka superlite 6.5cm cut to 16.25
Kimber hunter vs Kimber Ascent (in the same caliber) adds 1.4oz for the non fluted barrel (assuming you can find a fluted bolt).
23.8oz Stockys VG Carbon tikka stock
2.3oz pure precious tikka bottom metal
1.5oz tikka mag
27.6oz tikka stockys stock/BM/mag
27.0oz kimber mountain ascent stock, including internal mag and follower (24.5oz bare stock)
23.8oz kimber hunter stock with gel removed
2.6oz kimber hunter detachable mag
26.4oz kimber hunter/mag+stock weight
8.4oz kimber mountain ascent SA bolt
9.3oz kimber hunter SA bolt
For kicks, I added a pic of a "modified" hunter stock, cut down to 18oz, with a foam vertical grip I carved and applied with gorilla tape for a temporary fit to see if I liked the grip angle... long story short, it doesn't look great, but it works so well and is so comfortable for my shooting style, and it improved my groups well enough with this lightweight rifle... that I just left it on there. I'll probably someday replace it with a molded epoxy of some sort... but for now it works great. Whole rifle including scope and suppressor only weighs 5lbs 12oz.
All else being equal, to get a superlite tikka as lightweight as possible, it would cost the $800-950 for the bare rifle, plus $389 stockys stock on sale, plus $60-$80 for bolt fluting, plus $90 for mtn nob, plus whatever your smith charges to cut and thread.
A kimber hunter will cost $700-$800, and be about 7.7oz lighter in just the barreled action alone without spending another dime, except to cut and thread the barrel.
However, with the tikka, you have a lot more chambering options including 223rem that you won't have with a kimber.
