You've mentioned the "hollow" stocks a couple of times now; but Ruger has a synthetic stock that is not hollow, looks to be fairly sturdy (I've never handled one, unfortunately, so I can't attest to that) and, I think, would be just the ticket to reduce the weight of the rifle to Cooper's criteria. I've attached an image file of the stock.
The image is a long action and is from Numrich's website (in other words, not mine). I used it because it's the best image I could find.
If I recall correctly, this stock would not work with the Frontier rifle. I'm curious if it will work with this rifle.
Something else I'm curious about: Why did Ruger build both the Frontier and Gunsite scouts with such short barrels when Cooper's criteria called for a 19" barrel? As I recall, Cooper touted this as the best mix of compactness and efficiency for the cartridge.
