Thread: Best light weight Stock and/or tactical chassis for hunting

I think the lesson that has come from ARs is just how good the chassis type stocks are. Apart from the weight. I reckon there is still room to make a lighter version of this style with less bulk. I put a chassis on my 10/22 and after a wee settling and getting used to it period I now rave about it. I am playing with the thought of having a play and making my Howa Mini in to a single shot for an ultra light walk about rifle. I have a Stug CF stock on it currently and it is super light. I have wondered about trying a light weight aluminium tube and then threading it to take an AR butt or even carrying the tube on and just welding an ali recoil pad butt on to it. And welding on an lug to take a pistol grip and trigger guard. Tube could be honeycombed and just the action glass bedded in to it. Have to work out diameter of tube needed to take the action in it. What do people think? I bet there are some clever buggars on here who could have a go with their rifles and report back. I do love single shots at times. Don't want to bow hunt and not allowed to own handguns so this is my version of short range hunting.
