[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1275280, member: 38130"] I am currently doing a build on a Wildcat composite. This may be right up your alley. I went this route because I wanted a project and have never finished a stock before. The Wildcat stock comes as a raw blank which needs to be sanded down and prepped for paint. They are very light but do not expect a drop in ready to go stock like a McMillan or Manners. I went with a Carbon fiber fore end and it was 17.4 oz as a blank. Will get a bit heavier after bedding paint/dipping etc. If you are uncomfortable finishing it they will do it for you at a reasonable cost. Located in Sherwood Park Alberta Canada. If you Google Wildcat composites their site should come up. They also have a facebook page with some good pictures. You would need to remove some material for the #5 barrel; they all come with sporter barrel channels other than there VAR/TAC model. [/QUOTE]
