I have a .35 Whelen built on a mauser action with an A&B barrel. I am slowly making it into my "do everything" rifle. I am having the barrel cut to 21". It currently has a "Corelite"?? stock on it. My one goal is to lighten it up a little. I figure I'm going to carry it more than I shoot it. So far I figure the barrel cut will lighten it up a bit (Currently 24"+), I'm switching the leupold one piece base and rings for Talley One-Piece I have. I have read a lot online about basically drilling several holes out of the magazine box to shave a little too. Any other ideas?
