Nice - I had a similar concept for mine (inspired by adamjp's rifle) it was to create an ultralight micro mountain rifle for busting deer and pigs out to 400m.
I started with a 22 inch barreled howa because I needed to wring out as much velocity as possible. Changed the bottom metal to the aluminum DIP one (I'll eventually change that to a hinged floor plate) and changed the stock to an ultralight MPI which I bedded in devcon and added pillars to (I shortened the length of pull by an inch as well) The bare rifle weighs 5.5lbs - I added a leupold vx3 4.5-14x40 bringing it up to about 7.5lbs
