You might find this an interesting comparison. My Model 7 7mm SAUM after putting it on a diet.

As you say theres not much savings in the metal work really.

But big savings in the stock, i went from the older stippled plastic stock weighing about 1100 grams to a Stug (bloody shame Stu's not making them anymore) which is a touch over 500 grams.

Stock barreled action




Flutted barrel and bolt, skeltonised bolt handle. Standard 22" rem factory Saum barrel just flutted.




Stug stock




Complete bare rifle.







With Talley rings and a 4-20x50 Sightron S-tac it weighs 3.1kg. Which is the reason that if im on a walk in hunt this is the rifle i nearly always take, the heavier longer 28N normally only ventures out on true LR private land quad based hunts, or short walk front country stuff.

Its just as happy shooting a deer in the bush as it is at 700 yards.

162 Amax @3,050 fps

I love this old girl.
