Surface finish was not to my liking, stock felt cheap, like my ex.
Sounds like a personal issue.
I prefer the nula finish to the Barrett finish; but I’d throw that into the realm of the subjective.
So far everything has been subjective!
I think weight and stiffness are both pretty objective - and measurable. Well-made may be a bit more subjective - but I have enough representatives of everything discussed (excepting wcn) to feel pretty comfortable making that call.
Without numbers it is meaningless and subjective.
Post her weight and I’ll post my nula stock weights.
🤣
I just put my NULA stock (Model 20, short action) on the scale (13" LOP, no action screws but trigger guard included) and it weighs 1lb 9.3 oz (25.3 oz.). FWIW, my Manners UL Classic (same LOP) weighs 17.7 oz.) I sold my Fieldcraft stock, but if memory serves it too was 25-26 oz. For reference, I have a Brown Pounder which I am modifying to fit a Sako S491 repeater and it weighs 1lb, 1.1 oz. (17.4 oz.). It was exactly 18 oz. from the factory but I've hogged out the action area a bit. It does not have a recoil pad. If memory serves, the stock on a Sako Carbonlight in .223 Remington is 20 oz. A Howa Mini carbon fiber stock from Stocky's weighs 16.4 oz.
