Lightweight M77 stock?

If not already mentioned how about looking into a Bell and Carlson stock and a Leupold 2.5-8 x36 (mentioned above).
Now that you got your deer - you can weigh your scope, barreled action and stock separately to see how much they weigh. For every 16 ounces you can save would translate to one pound. Then shop around to find lighter componets for the stock/scope. You may want aluminum bases instead of steel. If you shots are under 200 yards - nothing wrong with a Simmons 4x32 scope

I wouldn’t be afraid to wager that a B&C stock would be heavier than the factory walnut.

I agree. But you asked for suggestions. Lightening rifles usually takes a lot of money for not a lot of gain. You could look for a Kimber hunter in 7-08 and pull the junk out of the stock if your searching for light. Otherwise your better to stay with what you got!
 
I have rifles (in original factory form) weighing in at 5.95 to 8.65 lbs, some with scopes, others for irons only. They all serve a purpose and have pros and cons. For 30-06/8x57 and up ballistics, I much prefer my heavier rifles when I'm not woods stalking.
