Rigidity and ergonomics, really. I do not mind the weight of the Hogue and I know the Bell and Carlson isn't really lighter (I do not know the actual weight of the Hogue stocks). It's a hunting rifle but so far I have not minded hauling a Howa around in the woods and haven't been burning for something lighter.
