Idg397, thanks for your reply....your SS Classic in the 308 did you have the synthetic stock and changed it to the McMillan Edge? Mine has the McMillan synthetic I believe and it may be stamped with McMillan in the barrel channel am not sure without taking it out of the action. I wonder what my stock weighs compared to the McMillan Edge? I would like to stay with a synthetic if I could save a few ozs. in weight. If you are at 7.4 lbs, that is almost a lb. less than I am....8.3 vs 7.4. My scope is an older 3 x 9 Redfield Widefield....do not know weight but probably 16 ozs plus steel mounts.
