This one I did a number of years ago on a M77 RS 35 Whelen. It goes 7# 7 oz empty as shown. Conduct is the best proof of character.

My Kevlar and Pierce Ti receiver. Butch, Gorgeous! Care to share any more details of this one?

AKwolverine Campfire Ranger A Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 17,865	Originally Posted by StudDuck Originally Posted by StudDuck I have a 1986 M700 Mountain Rifle KS that was equipped with a Brown Kevlar stock from the factory. Finished weight with the sling studs and Remington pad is 18.05 ounces. I must've been smoked-up the first time I weighed it. I recalibrated my scales and the weight of the above stock is 27oz. Stud - thanks for the update and happy to hear as this probably saved me a bunch of money. All of my ks stocks, both Brown and Mcm, weight between 26 and 28 oz. They are my favorite stock for a LA with anything above a MR contour. And I probably would have bought the next 10 on gunbroker searching for the mythical 18 oz ks pounder that brown made a limited number of for remington on the 32nd day of the 13th month during the full moon... :-)

butchlambert1 Campfire Outfitter B Joined: Dec 2004 Posts: 10,344 Poetry, Texas	Did somebody post above that Brown did not bed or finish their Kevlar stocks. Mark and I worked on my "Kevlar" stock. I sent my barreled action to them. They built the stock to my LOP and requested style. It has poured pillars and fits my barrel contour. They painted it also. I chambered a Douglas barrel that finished at 25". It is a 280AI. At the present it has the Talley lightweight ring-base combo. Haven't decided on a scope yet. Hasn't been fired yet either. A windy 23deg day doesn't make me want to go to the range. Last edited by butchlambert1; 01/06/17.

They do handle recoil very well, easy on the shoulder. I've had a bevy of Brown, Bansner and McMillan stocks over the years. And one rifle has worn all three. Personal ergos and fit obviously play the largest part - but for me, the Bansner wins/won in least perceived recoil. WWP53D

I had one like it in the late 90's that I hunted with a lot but cooked the barrel.It had a Banner stock....I screwed it up with the wrong barrel contour so I sold it. This was intended to be a replacement but got the Mashburn about the same time and determined it was not needed so it got sold. It sure did shoot! The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

I already posted my PoundR, but here's the Bansner I had on a classic sporter. It just didn't feel right in the field, balance was wrong and I partially blame the stock. Barrel contour and scope choice may have been a big influence too. Live and learn situation. One positive I can say about the bansner is it handled recoil very well. Ergo's help to mitigate recoil with the best of them. The grip is fatter and shorter on the Bansner vs. the Brown precision too. I prefer the longer trimmer grip of the Brown. The Banser required quite a bit of dremel work to get the barreled action centered up, but after glass bedding it was great.

I can tell you the finish is very slick. The rifle functioned flawlessly. Of course it had a few trick moves....but what doesn't these days? Maybe shoulda kept it LOL!

But I had the Mashburn so who needS a bunch of 7 Rem Mags hanging around I just get bored putting these things together and lose interest after awhile. They all end up being the same..... This one shot those terrible Partitions. The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Is that what you didn't like?
