@Seventeeths I hear what you are saying about being heavy. Close to 25+ years ago a work colleague did some lightening on his Sako 243. Meant to be a lightweight but just wasn't.
Turned some profile off the barrel and took quite a bit of wood off the stock. Made a huge difference.
Don't remember what he did with the barrel channel or how well it shot afterwards though but he was very happy with the weight reduction and I would suggest it still shot ok.
