[QUOTE="ejg, post: 1610683, member: 12381"] My son did a special lay up of a carbon stock for my 20" 243 remmy stainless sps (years back). The hunting style stock featured a monocoque carbon construction with an internal carbon structure (ICS) and intergrated carbon fibre pillars. Bedded, painted with recoil pad the stock weighed 19.8oz. Going light is a good thing, most rifles behave better with a lighter stock and shoot more consistent however I would not go hunting with a stock that is to weak to take the rough of a hill hunt. We have very wet and partially steep terrain meaning I often take a tumble or slide down a bank. This stock held up well on a few hunts that I used it until it went to a show in England where it was gobbled up for a rifle build with titanium action. Most of our hunting style stocks weigh around the 23-24oz range. Now I mostly use a tactical style carbon stocks for hunting with adjustable cheek raiser and spacer system that weighs around 900grams 32oz. If one compares that a standard lightweight wooden stock weighs around 32 oz, mostly more. Plastic take off stocks like T3 Lite would be around 830grams ~30oz. You get so much more for your weight with carbon. So yes you can save quite a bit with carbon, in some cases the weight of a scope. Done well I am convinced the rifles shoot better and more consistent with a carbon stock. edi [img]https://i.imgur.com/JwPYEgy.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
