Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

Most of the rifles I build use McMillian or H-S Precision stocks. Have customer that wants an ultra light varmint rifle. Any recommendations on a good lightweight stock? I have used High Tech in the past with fairly good results. Thanks. Roskoe.

Don't know much about synthetic stocks ( I like wood ), and I'm not sure this will help your situation, but Remington makes what I would consider a lightweight varmint rifle.
It's listed on their website at 6-3/4lbs., synthetic stock, stainless/fluted barrel.
Model 700 LVSF

It will be hard to beat the high tech stocks for quality and light weight but brown precision also makes some lightweight stocks.

stubblejumper is right about Brown Precision. They make the stocks for the Weatherby MKV Ultra-Lightweight. A beautiful, lightweight stock.

Thanks, guys. I will make some phone calls and compare weight. I believe the High Tech Specialties stock is only 20 OZ. Roskoe.

20oz without a pad . What no mention of Mcmillan hunter edge or pacific research Rimrock both that are light. The Rimrock is an oustanding stock
