He said he didn't want to drop 8k, he didn't say he didn't want to build a custom gun IIUC.
The Varmint MTR isn't going to balance at all, I wouldn't call that remotely stable stock. and if you're going to make it balance by slapping on 5# of weights to it, you kind of defeated the purpose of trying to make it light.
I have my Vudoo build in an Element Mg, and it's 10.5#, so if I were to do the CZ 457 way...
CZ 457 - cheapest action you can find, $450.
CZ 457 - MTR Barrel 20.5" - maybe $375.
Harrel's Tuner w/ some weights - $200
Element Mg 4.0 Mg (hit up a sale, memorial day maybe) - $950.
Get a light scope, like a Arken EPL 6-24 https://www.arkenopticsusa.com/epl-4-6-24x50-ffp-illuminated-vhr-vpr-zero-stop-30mm-tube/ - $380
So all done like $2400
