The Tupperware stocks weigh in around 2.2 pounds (35 oz's). While that was true with the first gen tupperwares, the latest versions of SPS BDL's weigh in at 26.6 ounces....

Mr. Aalf, I'd highly suggest you read my whole post and not cut out what I said. I believe he was asking about the Winchester Tupperware stocks, not SPS or BDL's: I confess to have "not" read all posts, but how much lighter is the McMillan than the "Mattel" plastic stocks of the Win.'s in the early 90's. Recoil should not be too bad! The Win. plastic stocks were pretty light, and shooting a factory stocked .338 Win.(fitted with a (Pachmayr)is not bad at all. At least, according to my wife!! memtb The Tupperware stocks weigh in around 2.2 pounds (35 oz's). You do the math... My pounder weighs about 20 oz's with recoil pad, paint and glass bedding. A compact edge weighs about 26 Oz's. The bridges pattern and ledgend will both weigh more than the compact edge...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

BSA, Approx. 10 oz. is pretty substantial, didn't realize you could get that much lighter than that cheap original plastic stock! I stand corrected. memtb

You guys running bansners do you order them and then finish them yourself or are you ordering directly from bansners finished? What do they run for price finished from them? I couldn't get their website to open. Maybe it's just me.

I'm thinking about putting a 338 win mag into a mcmillan edge classic stock I have. I'll probably knock the barrel off at 23" and top it with a Leupold 6x42. I think it would make a pretty slick elk rifle. Is a 338 win mag in an edge a good idea or a bad idea? I'm on my second and third 338. Love the cartridge. I've only shot 250 grain bullets, mostly partitions. My first 338 was in a classic stock with Kevlar as material. (Win 70) A friend wanted that rifle badly. He used it for elk and deer. His teen age daughter used it for deer. They shot it for close to twenty years. He has issues with age and he bought my 270 Remington ADL from me. That was a nice elk rifle. The original wood stock went with that rifle also. The other 338's are still in wood. A Remington 700 BDL and a Win 70 Classic. If I go to a wet climate (Alaska) hunting I'll put one or the other in plastic/kevlar, probably a McMillan. Otherwise I'll use them as is.
I prefer classic.

I have ran this set up for 15 years and would do it exactly all over again. When this barrel is shot out it will be replaced and nothing else changed. Standard 700 S/S BDL in .338 Win Mag of course. Brown stock, Rick Bin did the paint 13 yrs. ago, barrel shortened to 22.5". Karl did his bolt thing. Warne steel bases & Burris Signature Zee rings. Leupy 3.5-10x42. I may upgrade the glass soon. ![[Linked Image]](http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/croyc123/338A.jpg) Hmmmm ... intriguing. I had a nice-packing, poor shooting 700 XCR in .375 H&H rebarreled with a 22.5" Lilja in .338 Win Mag and bedded to a Bansner stock blank the gunsmith finished for me. It didn't shoot good either. After a couple years another gunsmith built a heavy .264 win mag on that action ... it, too, didn't shoot that great. At that point I sold it and moved on. However, the "why" bothers me. Maybe it was the action, not the barrels. That take-off Lilja is still sitting in the gunsmith's shop and I still have that stock. I just bought a 700 XCR II in 7mm mag. If it doesn't shoot, I'm thinking very seriously about having him headspace that .338 tube and give it another try. At least then I'd know. Tom
