My Boyds Heritage laminated stock weighs 39 ounces and the factory RAR-P stock weighs 23.4 ounces, so just under 1 lb. more. For me, the improved egrs more than off-set the additional weight, but it is now just over 9 lbs. with a Weaver V16 in Warne fixed Maxima rings. Not a vertical hunting rifle, but it never really was.
The Heritage style is, pretty much, the Prairie Hunter with a more slender forearm. Sort of the Boyds version of the Remington Hunter vs. the McM Hunter. I have several Prairie Hunters, but think that I might buy a couple more Heritage style stocks for my RAR-Ps in 223 and 6.5 Creed, maybe in blackjack and coyote laminate colors.
