[QUOTE="coop22250, post: 1590725, member: 107678"] I just received one of these in the mail. The factory stock is super light. I took an HS stock off my .308, expanded the barrel channel and put it on the WSM. It’s barrel is quite a bit thicker than the 308. I’m working on getting the reloading components now, will run it through a chrono with 180’s in the coming months. The factory stock is not really great, the forearm rests on the barrel with 2 little nubs on the end. The channel is large enough that it free floats on the 308 spotter barrel. But it’s super light, now the 308 with 3-9x40 Leupold is 6 lbs 3oz, that puts the rifle alone near the 5.25 lb mark, matching my 3x expensive browning TI. For a short range mountain gun, that’s about as cheap as it gets for close to 5lbs. If I forget to get back to you by May, send me a message and I’ll get you what I find out. Coop [/QUOTE]
