As pictured it weighed in right at 5lbs.

I especially like what you did with the trigger guard. Turning a M-700 ADL trigger guard around leaves the trigger sitting way forward, doesn't look that good to me.

Your approach is about ideal, IMO. Someone needs to machine your pattern and sell it. The trigger guard issue is the main reason I won't use the McM stock. If I had access to your trigger guard, maybe.
