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.


If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
