[QUOTE="ormandj, post: 2379160, member: 110065"] What's the lightest BDL stock going nowadays, with an appropriate comb height for shooting with optics, for a short-action? I'm working on a 7SS build based on a Defiance GA Hunter, and was planning on using one of my MDT HNT26s, but wanted to consider a BDL build as well. The MDT is ~31oz with the folder, adjustable comb, and all of the LOP extensions I need installed. That said, it requires a magazine, which adds more weight. I'm curious if I can match this (stock + magazine) with a BDL stock with a good comb height, and bottom metal like a M5 Oberndorf + Wyatt's box. I have no experience with BDL stocks, at all, so would appreciate any direction possible. The Manners MCS-LRH looks like it's in the 30-33oz range, but I don't think that includes bottom metal. Would I be looking at that stock + [URL]https://hawkinsprecision.com/product/m5-oberndorf-bottom-metal/[/URL] + [URL]https://redhawkrifles.com/wyatts-extended-magazine-boxes/[/URL] in MBE-4 SA WSM/SAUM (2.995") + [URL]https://hawkinsprecision.com/product/followers/[/URL] + some spring? I'm not sure where that would end up weight-wise. I'd love any other suggestions/options. I don't need adjustable comb as long as the comb height is appropriate for optic-based shooting. This will see a lot of long-range use. I'd like to stay under $2000 all-in. [/QUOTE]
