Scope and mount weight aren’t going to make much difference. Will you be hunting mountains?
If you want to cut weight, trade rifle for a short action and short barrel.

1+. And get a light contour/thin barrel. Also, depending on the scope used there' s the potential for saving a few oz. For example, look at two extremes from the Burris line up. The 3-15X, 50 mm objective, 30 mm tube Veracity weighs 25.1 ounces. The 2-7X, 35 mm objective, 1" tube Fullfield weighs only 12 ounces.
