308 RPR barrel is 3.175 (weighed my spare one)http://www.ruger.com/products/precisionRifle/specSheets/18004.html
The RPR stock folds to the left.
But you're balking over an additional 2.8 lbs? I guess you could cut some weight off of the folding stock and forearm and maybe get close? But you would prolly lose the folding feature in the process.
I'm guessing the majority of the weight is in the bolt, barrel, and receiver...and if you reduce the weight of the barrel I'm guessing the accuracy will suffer.
Maybe someone's listening?
Not saying it can't be achieved - but to find one in the $1,200 range might be stretching it.
*** that hinge may require some minor fitting...
This is mine in 6.5 Creedmoor, cut to 18.5 inches, much easier to maneuver around with and without the can on.

I want one.
I want one that allows the buttstock to fold. I want a 7 lb. rifle give or take and I want it in .308.
Who's gonna be first? Ruger or Savage?
