"The Decelerator added just over 5oz." Dwayne MPI stocks (in Portland, OR) carrys (at least they used to) a pachmayr decelerator pad that had no steel in it, which you don't need if you are gluing (superglue) the pad to the stock (vs screwing it on). You only lose a little over an ounce, so I wouldn't bother unless putting one on anyway, priced about the same. Also there is the flip flop pad, which I haven't tried yet, so can't comment on the weight savings/functionality. Steelhead or anyone else, What do the HVA small ring actions weigh vs the large ring Mauser action? I saw a HVA model 51L{think this was the model #} (J.C.Higgins 30-06) that the owner CLAIMED weighed about? 6 pounds ...in a wood stock (no ammo or sling). Even though the bottom metal was aluminum, the stock rather trim and the action a small ring...I find that rather hard to believe! Jerry Last edited by jerrywoodswalker; 01/09/10.
