Guys, what's a finished Brown Pounder weigh? (w/ paint, 1" pad).
IIRC the Standard Fiberglass Brown's weigh in around 24-25 oz's finished?
Thinking of one for my M70 300 WSM... Really don't like McMillan's M70 Stocks (other than the Legend), so it's either Brown or Bansner.
Thx.

Wow. Didn't realize they finished up that light.
Guess "Pounder" isn't just a marketing gimmick.

I had a Kevlar Brown Pounder at one point in time. Great stock.

Bill, that would have to be the Pounder.

Sheesh. If it's 17 oz., shouldn't it be the Pounderso? Talk about false advertising...

I have used a number of their stocks and all were somewhat over a pound. Figure on adding more with bedding and especially the pad. You might look into the Remington supercell pad available on Amazon to save a bit of weight compared to the Decelerator.

My latest Pound'r from last year, for a Pre-64, was 15.8 oz out of the mold.
I forget what the exact weight finished was, and won't be able to weigh it for a few days, but I recall around 22 oz. As you well know the guy finishing it makes a big difference as they are very rough as you receive them.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

The bedded, painted Brown on my 375 M70 goes 21 oz with a LimbSaver pad. No idea if it is a Pounder but I suspect so.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

Brad no it's not. I can't find anything lighter. Other thing no one mentions is they are stiffer than a Mcmillan,. I'd have to take my present rifle apart to tell you but I know it;s lighter than my Compact Edge. I think butchlambert is right on the weights. Here ya go. Brown did the paint, pad, and swivels on this one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z395/BobinNH1/IMG_0686.jpg)

OK, so wading through all the info it seems possible to end up with an approximately 22 +/- finished stock (bedding, paint, 1" Decelrator) going the pounder route.
That sound about right?
Browns website sucks btw...

My wife had a Pounder on a .250 Savage built on a short 700 action for a while. As I recall the finished stock weighed 19 ounces, but that was with a 1/2" pad. (Don't need much on a .250).

Brad sounds right to me. Both of mine had thin pads....maybe 1/2 inch(?)
