[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 1915842, member: 94154"] JMO, worth what you pay for it. I feel your concern, BTDT. A lighter stock will make the forward heavy worse. You *can* shave a pound by having the barrel fluted. That would get you down in the weight range of a medium sporter. [URL]https://www.longriflesinc.com/pages/services-barrel-fluting[/URL] You could try to save weight with a lighter stock too, but your best bet is keep with what you have, find out how you like it in the field, and make your changes before the next season or with the next rifle. Also, a good frame pack will make a world of difference in shouldering the weight. If you plan on carrying that off your pack, well, betcha you a beer, you'll be tired. Not my place to ask, really, but unless your hunting moose, why hunt with a 300 Win Mag when the PRC will do everything you need? +1 [/QUOTE]
