Either hunt it as-is -or- take the money you would invest in lightening it up (stock) and buy a Tikka lite or Superlite.
A Tikka with a 3-9 Burris FFII is the easy button for mountain rifle IMO. FWIW, this is coming from a M70 nut.
The Tikkas for sure are cool rifles, and I've read plenty of posts on the internet telling me that I'm a fool for not owning one in 6.5 Creedmoor! The internet forums also convinced me that I needed my 20 ounce scope, but maybe I could start looking at some lighter options like the Burris.
Thanks! I like the idea of upgrading the stock and that one looks good.
