Thanks Bob,
I am still in the planning phase on my pre-64, fwt 30-06.
I like the profile of the pounder stock, but suspect it may be to light and stiff for a 30-06?
I have a 7lb. 30-06 and a 6.25lb 270 and that's all the recoil I want to deal with.
According to the Brown Precision the kevlar only saves 4 to 5 ounces.
My goal is 7.5 to 7.75 lbs with a Leupold scope and Talley mounts.
Do you think the fiberglass Brown stock will get me there?
Yes, it will be 7.25 lbs, plus or minus an ounce or two with a 2.5-8 Leopold scope and Talley mounts, because that is exactly what I put together.
FYI, bedding, fill, and finish for the stock can easily add 4-5 oz. Mine is finished with sandable primer and Rustoleum textured paint.
