Weighed the stock tonight. Lighter than I expected... not a huge saving going to a CF replacement?

Yeah but carbon is cool :cool:
I think the high techs are 650-750gms their lightest is the howa mini then the sako 85 then theirs a jump in weight to the Rem700 and T3
stop trying to penny pinch and talk yourself out of it. You know you are going there ....
No point buying an ultra light mtn bipod for a heavier stock :yaeh am not durnk: :yaeh am not durnk:Quote:

looking at a carbon stock beside a tikka stock on my carpet currently (kimber carbon)
yeah its all how it makes you feel better and honestly for all the hype around carbons toughness the plastic stocks take a beating far better
That’s debatable the ultra light bipod has pushed my light rifle right to the raggered edge of being able to shoot it well id never even though of the effect of the weight of the bipod until shooting my rifle now cutting that 200grams off the frontQuote:

Not an issue on this one anyway as After load d I don’t shoot groups I suspect I may have over tightened my front action screw as well at 65flbs iv backed it off will shoot one last group for good measure and continue to put meat on the table I certainly noticed the jump in recoilQuote:
