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.

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

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

I took a month off. Too much to do elsewhere I finally have some free time for a few days.

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

No never had the distinct pleasure of being in jail but I bet some posers here have :D

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

Good to hear!!

BC, you don't feel guilty.....do you? Has the Wife been acting up again?

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

Jail can be a fun place to hang out for awhile - only if your title is "Arresting Officer".

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

BC your too straight laced to be in Jail.. aren't you ?;) FWIW I don't consider you any sort of a poser and that goes for most folks here.

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

Absolutely. Just living the place up. The US gov don't like jailbirds, thats for sure in my business.

Now Mossy on the other hand may be headed to the Bar Hotel

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

I stand corrected on who makes the stocks for the Weatherby Ultralight, it is Bell and Carlson. I always get them and Brown precision mixed-up.

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

OEH - thanks for the advice on the McMillian Hunter's Edge. I did some further research and wound up ordering one today. Roskoe

RE: Light Weight Stock for Remington 700
 

Roskoe, let me know how that stock works out. I have my eyes on a rimrock for the next project
