Anyone know how much a PRS weighs? How much lighter would the newest version be?

Current PRS weighs in at 1.965 lbs.  Gen II PRS will be around 1 oz. lighter.  No time frame yet on the release of the Gen II PRS.

Yes, material and a milled out aluminum buttplate that accepts a rubber buttpad.  All of the weight savings come from the milled out buttplate.

We will phase out the solid buttplate and introduce the rubber buttpad on a retail PRS. The solid aluminum buttplate from the GenI PRS will likely be sold as an accessory.  Release date of the Gen II PRS is unknown as for now.

edit to add, the new rubber buttpad is pretty slick!
