    Those weights are a little misleading as the mountain has 4 more inches of barrel that you will no doubt be cutting off.
    But yes it is a lot of money for the weight saving but there are other advantages to the different action and upgraded trigger.
    I will get a weight of mine docked to 16" when I am home.

    Ignorance is bliss for me. I bought a .270, use factory ammo, and the deer fall over. That's all I want. I don't want to complicate things by over-thinking. Save your money for fuel to get to your hunting spots.

    Docked to 16", dpt sup, tally rings, vx3 hd and I replaced the steel bottom metal with an alloy aftermarket.
