Lightest Carbon rife stock

[shooters]

My head hurts from searching. And this probably isn't the right section to post this.
Between Manners, McMillan, AG Composite and so on, I'm looking for the lightest carbon stock (adjustable or non adjustable) for a sheep rifle. Long Action. Spend a lot of time in the Brooks and most shots for Rams are 500 and under so I'm on the lightweight train.

Anyone point me in the right direction please?

Prefer adjustable.

Adjustable adds a few ounces. The Mesa (non-adjustable) comes in around 25 ounces. Reach out to JA Outdoors and they can take care of you.

What action and bottom metal configuration are you trying to fit?

For an R700 pattern with a BDL set up, the Proof Research Lightweight Mountain Hunter Stocks are just under 20oz. Really liked the one I had, simple and straight forward.

If you're really looking for lightweight but still good ergonomics, look at the peak 44. I'm very impressed with mine. Sheep rifle weighs 6lbs 4 ounce scoped w proof carbon bbl. Will still hold under half moa at 850 yards

MPI made me a custom stock that weighed 20oz. Not sure if they do adjustable though.

Doc is no longer alive iirc and his daughter runs mpi now

Still have extremely light stocks though--- I bought an " ultralight" blank with magnum cross pins and it weighs 18.5 oz finished--- they make a lighter one too. Some of your weight comes from the butt pad-- they can range from 1.5 oz up to easily over 5 or 6 so watch which butt pad you add on if you are counting ounces

Yes. Defiance GA Hunter Long Action. I didn't know Proof sold just stocks. Thank you.

Manners Ultra Classic is under 20 ounces

Proof Lightweight Hunter is hard to beat if you can find one- very rigid for the weight (19oz)

Would love to try a Peak44 (and it looks like they are lefty friendly!)

The Mesa has nearly the EXACT dimensions as a Manner MCS-T but with lots more material taken out of the barrel channel- so if you like that contour it a good option at about 6oz less than a manners.

My Mesa Altitude weighs in at 24 oz. It is hard to conceive some of those companies are making 20 oz stocks. Amazing.

I'll second the Peak 44.
Built a 300PRC that is probably too light.
Probably going to switch to a non magnum.

Have you thought about the mdt hnt26? I've had McM Edge stocks and while they were lite by the time bedding was done and bottom metal was added, they were usually upper 20s, or low 30s depending on stock design. The mdt is drop in ready at 26oz. That sounds pretty good.
