One of the slim boyds is probably the lightest option made for the mini right now. Mcmillan is supposedly making a lightweight mini stock too. There are also plenty of light stocks made for other things that could be adapted. MPI for example. Kimber makes some slim/light stocks so you might be able to find one of those stocks used, that wouldn't be too oversize. I put a mini in a remington 700 stock--it has a gap around the receiver but it's quite functional and way better than the rubber stock it came with.
For me, the barrel is a good place to have weight because I like to shoot a lot. If you want to hike 20 miles and shoot once, then a pencil barrel should work fine.
For a light grendel, you might be better off starting with an already built lightweight rifle and rebarrel it. Barrett Fieldcraft, NULA, Kimber Montana, etc.
