1 lb 13 oz is that chassis, your machinest can get 7 oz off that, 4.5 oz for the carbine length buffer tube and castle nut and mission first battlelink minimalist butt stock at around 6.8 oz...gets things pretty trim. You go Talley rings and reasonable Leupold really cuts weight. The heavy barrel limits you though. My 20 light weight is 6 lb 10.5 oz with a Leupold Vx3i 3.5-10x40 cds.
So you can almost build the lightest chassis build in the world except Ive already done it.
If you go down the diet path have machinest do some nice deep fluting in that ?? barrel while he takes the pork out of that chassis. You can slab action flute bolt body and hollow bolt handle for another 3 oz deduction. I kept that action for another project so I could be 3 oz less than 6 lb 10.5 oz on the chassis one I have. Sub 6.5 lb chassis rig Im sure is unheard of, could get it to 18 barrel too so could likely approach 6 1/4 all up.
Oh and my 20 lightweight is half moa with Hornady black...its one of the most accurate factory rigs Ive had.
Forgot, using ergo slim grip with the rear tang piece, its not lightest option but it gets palm back a bit further as square cut grips make the trigger reach too short or Id just use the 1.8 oz Magpul moe-k grip at 1.8 oz. I think the ergo is 2.5 oz without the bottom filler piece and 3oz with it in.
