[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 131505, member: 313"] To enhance accuracy potential, I was thinking of using a contour that was just a bit stiffer than the standard #3 contour. This will be a walking rifle and I don't want it to be heavy but do want to maximize accuracy. I originally considered a McMillan HTG which would accomodate an 8 contour but then figured it is probably heavier/wider than needed. I currently have a model 7 McMillan stock but it will only accept a #3 contour barrel. I think I'll look at the models that fit a 5 contour. Are they necessarily narrower or lighter than the stocks that accomodate an 8 contour? It would be nice if I could just go somewhere and see the various stocks. The internet is only so helpful. Thanks for your responses. [/QUOTE]
