[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1830210, member: 87243"] As that is what I built my rifle for, I would choose the stock I went with, a Manners EH-1. My stock with standard LOP, two flushcups, 1 sling stud, pillars and full length devcon bedding is 34.5 oz. You can go lighter with a sporter style, but I feel the more sporter style stocks sacrifice a good cheek weld. My 52mm scope is as low as I could get it, as in the lense cover can't even slide on all the way, only about 3/4 on, and the EH-1 puts it perfect. With a sporter stock, unless I had a 40mm scope as low as possible, I would want a cheek rest, which would offset the weight saved going with a sporter stock, and not have as comfortable of a grip area for longer shots.
