Thanks Gents- lots of good info! The 28 oz weight came from a post on here, but I haven't weighed mine (I do have an accurate scale, so should do that)- if it's in the 25-26 oz range, even less weight savings than I thought. Looks like I under estimated the weight of the Edge stock (and quite possibly over estimated the weight of my wood stock).
My FWT isn't a tack driver, but respectable for a sporter- obviously any improvement would be welcome, if there were any.
I really hadn't considered the strength of the stock with a mishap, but very valid point and I'm sure we've all gotten close to a major fall with our rifles.
Definitely a lot of food for thought.
