[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1541549, member: 22335"] If you're doing that well I would not likely swap stocks. You could always take your stock off and weight it, but I suspect the difference between your wood stock and a B&C stock is a matter of a few ounces. The specs are generally posted on their site. In addition, it is far easier to use one of their Accumark-sized stocks if you're floating the barrel. The ones for a "normal" contour barrel do not fit nearly as well as they should, and I don't use them any more. You're welcome to try, but I suspect you'll end up hogging out a fair amount of the barrel channel to get the rifle to properly fit the stock. And, if you use an Accumark stock it might actually be a bit heavier than what you have now. So, I'd check the weight of yours and go from there. [/QUOTE]
