The difference between the standard rear action screw and the "superfluous" Hunter rear action screw is 0.18 ounces so hardly significant. The stock vendor didn't want to have different aluminum pillars front and rear and didn't want the pillars to have a saddle which would require a specific orientation in the mold. They wanted everything to be as idiot proof as possible to prevent damage to the mold and to prevent the creation of bad parts. Kimber marketing wanted to have the rear action screw look like the standard action screw so that led to the weird looking action screw that ships with Hunter stocks.

You can run a Hunter front action screw in the rear position if you want. That would save a whopping 0.2 ounces or so. Did you cut down a titanium action screw for the rear?
