should have said this earlier--
if you use steel bottom metal with the FN Browning small rings or the Husky, you would be adding another 3oz or so to the total weight depending on how much contouring was done.
so the lightest Mauser 98s would be the VZ33/G33 as they have some milling to lighten the actions.
Some of the fancy aftermarket steel bottom metal for 98s will weigh more than the original stuff.
