[QUOTE="jhibbard24, post: 504385, member: 25072"] my buddy is in the same boat as you are... heavy barreled rifle build and wanting a light weight stock. If you want really really light and strong go with a Lone Wolf. you will be paying for it though, probably $650-900. MPI makes a light thumbhole out of carbon fiber, I actually have one that is unfinished and inletted for Rem 700 bdl long action that i might consider selling... MPI originally made the carbon fiber stocks for Christensen Arms but now they are made in house. Thats the route my buddy took was the finished stock from Christ. Arms $650 very light weight and high cheek piece... spent a lot of time looking at stocks for my buddy and i have mcmillans and haven't shot a Manners but held a few. I believe the manners is overbuilt, how often do you decide to drive over your gun with your truck. i like the thumhole MCS-GAT design but even with the 90% shell it is not light enough for me. Mcmillan makes the edge stocks that are fairly light but quite plain. Mcmillans are tough and proven. i have a Mcmillan winchester marksman and thought i would makek my own adjustable cheek piece so i cut a $480 stock and made it come out good but added weight doing it ... if you have to have an adjustable cheek buy the shell style adj cheek from shawn carlock at Defensive Edge (lightweight and lots of adjustment and easy solution). PM me if you maybe interested in the carbon fiber thumbhole i have. [/QUOTE]
