[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2043741, member: 103947"] I suppose I'd ask what is considered heavy ? If this stock is for a youth, I'd say anything over 3 lbs is heavy. When my kids hunted as youths, I tried to keep the rifles well under 8lbs and recoil friendly cartridges. It's tough but doable. If replacing a factory stock with a decent after market model, I'm positive keeping weight low is easy. Remington 783s or Savage Axis rifles come in right around 5+ lbs. Add optics and your at or around 6.5-7lbs. My Prairie dog Stockade is 3 lbs. Heavy if your looking for a lightweight stock but added to a youth size rifle with a short barrel, it's gonna come in under 8 lbs easily scoped. It's really what weight you want your kids to carry. Comfort in carry is also important. Carrying my MDT LSS stocks are comfortable when slung over a shoulder. Modification had to be done for comfortable carry. Most of those stocks for me are carry stocks but rather drive to shooting locations and shoot. [/QUOTE]
