Hi guys,
Currently I have a 12lb rifle with 16” heavy Palma barrel. I am looking for weight reduction with a lighter barrel, same length. If it can be 2-3lb lighter will be good. Thinking maybe Berlin rem varmint ?
Please give me some suggestions. Thanks in advance!
The rifle is surgeon made CSR with AI chassis.
 
The rem varmint will likely not save you a single pound. You're going to have to go much much lighter or carbon.
 
You won't have to go cf, just get a #4 contour and it'll thread 5/8×24 at 16" and should come in under 3 lbs
