Coolios - hope you didn’t order the bx model, with all the reported trouble - never mind, am sure you didn’t.
12 weeks - wow. Is that 12 weeks pre covid ? Because that’s 20 weeks now lol

Ozzielee,
i am in a similar situation - i picked up a howa stainless sporter barrelled action in 6.5 creed just as a project of sorts to see if I can come ups with a sub 4kg stalking rifle.
With it being a budget build in mind - finding a suitable stock that is around 1 kg or less is now on the cards. Being a stalking rifle - carried more than shot - tack-driving accuracy isnt needed and thus the need for pillars probably isnt there - but a bit of glass bedding around the recoil lug may do. Whilst a boyds laminate stock could work i think a walnut stock (italian made version that OSA used to import - if i can find one) may be best - and just get the recoil lug bedded and the barrel channel sealed against moisture egress.

Good fun trying to achieve my outcome!!
