I'm just curious what the different options do to the total rifle weight. Thanks.

In most cases they make it heavier. The single thing you can do to make it lighter is change to a thin profile barrel. The lighter the hand guard the more expensive it will be. But most of the weight is in the barrel. The more accessories you add the more weight.
This is a carbon-fiber upper and lower with a thin profile barrel and started out at 5.6 lbs for the whole rifle. As you can see I have added some weight to it with the quad rail and accessories, but it is still very manageable.
