Get rid of your 1" decelerator too. Its just unnecessary weight. Go with a 1/2 pad. They're 3 or 4 oz lighter. You don't need a 1" pad on a 6.5x47
I always assumed it was more weight like you're saying. Manner's quoted me 6oz heavier if I went from a 1/2 to a 1".
When ordering my last Hunters Edge I had McM weigh both sizes, exactly one ounce difference in the pads by themselves. So with the longer stock material in a half inch pad, the net gain would likely be under 1 ounce.
