A factory deluxe wood Safari stock completely finished with premium pad, two crossbolts, inletted swivel mount, and bedding weighs in at 45oz.

A Classic Stainless Synthetic stock, with Decelerator pad, bedding for both recoil and barrel lugs, and a durable textured exterior coating, will run 36oz.

The Winchester B&C EW stock I used above with Decelerator pad and inletting for the barrel lug runs 28oz. This stock saved me more than a pound over a wood stock and � a pound over using a factory synthetic. The rifle ended up at 7 � pounds with QR mounts less scope and it shoots lights out accurate. A standard fill McMillan would be heavier and an Edge would be impossible as it is too egg shell fragile and would break under the recoil of a 416Rem. As I said earlier, you are talking oranges while I was talking apples.
