I hate to hijack a thread but here goes. Being I’m looking to lighten up my Ruger Hawkeye. The stock is going to be the first change. Currently a Hogue, good stock but not light. I’m also likely to run open sights and shelf the scope. My style hunting permits that. It’s currently 9.5 lbs in current dress so I’d like a few pounds off if possible. I still hunt and track deer and run bear over hounds. I’ve found a Bell&Carlson stock at 2 lbs and haven’t found anything lighter. McMilllan doesn’t do Ruger. Any insight would be appreciated


Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
