barrel weight

[holy cow]

When all my parts arrive for gun build i will be having a 6.5x47 lapua built on the new thumb hole stock from manners. The barrel i ordered from Bartlein is a HV contour and says it is 71/2 pounds at 28 inches. The finish lenght will be 23 inches and will be fluted. How much weight do you think i am losing from 28 to 23 and fluting. I am begining to think maybe this will be heavier than i want. I can change contour, it is not to late. What are your opinions on the weight or a different contour. Thanks Dan
