I've had various High Techs on some of my rifles for quite a while now, probably about half of which I've installed myself. They're easy to install if you know a little bit about that sort of thing, and very rugged and pretty light as well. With a 1" pad they'll end up around 24 ounces but can be 4-5 ounces lighter with a thinner pad and shortening the forend a little--which I usually do.
