Hi all, I'm after ideas for a sub $1500 light weight (2.5lbs or less) Remington 700 SA stock. Note, this is not a wanted ad, I don't have the money! I'm just looking for suggestions.
I have a new Bergara B-14r (yes, I know its not a centerfire, but it takes the same stock so bare with me) that takes a Remington 700 style stock, with an AICS magwel. The HMR stock it comes with is very nice, adjusts at every point, covered in sling attachment points and is build like a tank, but it weighs in at 3.9 lbs. I know that isn't exactly a heavy weight stock, but this is a rifle with a nice carbon barrel. I would like to lighten the whole thing up to be able to carry it in the field as well as use it on the bench.
My plan is to sell the HMR stock it came with and save a few more pennies for a replacement. Some of the more skeletal chassis stocks look reasonable, but i'm not familiar with many that sell them. Looking for ideas if you know of any good ones.
And yes, I know McMillian stocks, and as amazing as they are, they are either a bit on the heavier side, or on the expensive side for the lighter carbon ones.
Thanks in advance!
