Have both 2b and #3 and the 2b is perfect for a carry rifle , the #3 is just heavier than I would want to pack, from a blind both would work the 2b still has plenty of weight for any Lr type of hunting or shooting!
Not sure how the Rem Std. contour shakes out in this discussion, but in the Hart built rifle I posted, it seems about right. Some forward heft with the Edge stock, but very easy packing.
