Classic Edge #10527434 10/05/15 Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 746 C cast10K OP Campfire Regular OP cast10K Campfire Regular C Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 746 Looking at doing a build and need some help choosing a stock. For those who have a Classic Edge, what does it weigh? I'm seeing numbers from 22-26 ounces... I wouldn't think there's that much variance. Also looking at a Manners SL, if someone has an actual weight on those that would be great too. Thanks guys.

I'll try to get my classic edge weighed. Oregonmuley might know- the classic edge is his favorite.

They are about perfect for a hunting rig IMHO - but I will be getting a Manners SL one of these days soon. "Rather hunt Mule deer than anything else" "Team 7MM-08"

I have a new SA classic/edge/speckle sitting in my gun room. IIRC it was around 25oz, but I'll have to double check. I know my McM Hunter/edge was slightly heavier at around 26+.

Final weight will be driven by recoil pad options and inlet. I've been known to count ounces and even grams, but fit and feel became the deciding factor. I prefer the feel and fit of the Classic. But, because the Classic has drop in the comb, scope/mount choices with be limited to 44mm objective and smaller. Go any larger and you looking at adding a cheek rest to get the proper weld.

Sounds like the Classic comes in maybe 2-3 ounces lighter on average than the SL. I have 3 Manners sample stocks on the way. Going to see if Mcmillan will send me a Classic to compare at the same time.

From what I understand the SL has max lop of 13.75", if you want longer they use spacers that are relatively heavy.
