I used one for my lightest backpack rifle because it is the lightest blank available. It did require quite a lot of extra work and creative reinforcement. At the end of the job, it was very stiff and still lighter than any other blank I've used. The sub 5 lb rifle shoots quite well. However, unless you wish to hit a ridiculously light weight goal (like me), there are other/better choices.

Disclaimer......Lone Wolf claims some very light weights. The few reports that I have heard is that they do not hit their advertised weights and thay are also pretty flimsy. This is 2nd-3rd hand info and they (may) in fact be just as advertised.
