    Barrel fluting is $300 maybe less as mine will be a shorter barrel.

    Bolt Fluting is $138

    Receiver roof removal $92

    (Gunworks prices)

    So around $530 for all the lightening work.

    I got my carbon Southfort stock on here for $600, I think the carbon stock cost is kind of a moot point as a lot of people upgrade to carbon stocks for rigidity alone not just weight reduction. Also I will be able to sell the stock the Tikka came with for at least $100 brand new.
    Not to much call for tikka stocks unfortunately
