New budget build one handed lol

Some may know I broke my right clavicle bear hunting. If not see my story in the hunting section. Anyway, I was so impressed by the performance of the 6.5 on bear, I decided to build a little lighter 6.5mm

SSA upper / PSA lower had sitting in the safe.
DD 2.5lb match flat face trigger
ELF safety

Nice. What do you consider "lighter"? Do you have a weight on the finished build? I have been trying to build a semi lightweight but i don't have my preferred barrel yet (ordered) which should pare a half pound off my build but my scope is weighing me down a bit. I'm coming 8n at 11.5 lbs right now.

This comes in at 9.8lbs my other one is 12lbs on the nose. I drilled out the buffer tube detent holes and also the back of it. As well as drilled a few holes in the grip area. Really want to get some titanium goodies.
