    light weight Sako stock build.... is it light enough yet?

    Hi Guys. finally got some work done on a paulownia stock for a Sako Finnbear. in the past I have carbon wrapped a few, but it accepts resin so well I'm going to try 3 coats of resin and no carbon, so likely I'll walnut stain it... tho I think a charcoal stain would also be on option as the rifle has a stainless barrel so the traditional walnut and blued steel chaps wont string me up lol. anyway it currently weighs 430g and I estimate the resin will take it to 500g. In past builds I've hollowed the barrel channel and bored out the butt end. It's also been bedded already too. final sanding and minor shaping wont drop but 5g. so what do you think? 500g finished? or shall I attempt a 450g?
