[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 668100, member: 30902"] As a rule heavier is steadier, and steadier lends to greater accuracy and precision as a result. Personally 15lbs is about as much rifle as I want to pack around for general hunting but if I head up to the mountains in rough terrain I'll also carry one of my light 7mm STW's or .300Wm (Light being 6.5-9lbs) in case I have to do any serious climbing. Both McMillian and H-S precision make some very nice tactical/varmint type stocks that are fully adjustable, and depending on the fill used I think both have models coming in at under 3 Lbs. The Chasis stocks look cool and shoot great but I don't want to have to sling one over my back and carry it for very long. [/QUOTE]
