The first week of December I will field test a Pendleton Classic C stock made for the Howa Mini 6.5 Grendel. I will be hunting bears in the "Switzerland of Virginia" Highland County, VA. Elevation in that area of the Allegeny Mountains ranges from ground level at 1500ft to 4500ft and I could be romping around on any or all of it while in hot pursuit of bears with dogs. My goal is to determine how much less fatigued I am carrying a lighter rifle. The stock itself is expected to weigh nearly a pound less than the B&C. I'll be sure to keep a daily journal and take plenty of pics. For those of you who have plowed this row before, what other data points should I take in account?
