Yep, they are great stocks. They also had an option where you could pick out any camo t-shirt from Cabelas and that would be your pattern.The actual t-shirt is the camo.
I wonder if that is why one of the camo ones I have is ~ 4 ounces heavier ...

Possibly, I have never weighed mine because I did not have a non-camo version to compare weight wise. Sounds like you have several examples for comparison. If I remember correctly, they wrapped the shirt to the form, then used a clear “resin” vs a standard black “resin”. Italics used because I am not sure of the exact term for the product.

Yeah, the added material and resin caused them to be a bit heavier with the camo. I finished up several of the PR stocks for both M70's and 700's. I finished one, bedded it to a 700, and painted it with his initials on it for my father's birthday several years ago. It's the only centerfire he hunts with. It really is a GREAT pattern for a stock.

In the early 2000's I had two for M70's with the t-shirt material (I used plain brown t-shirts), and, IIRC, the stocks came in around 33 oz's... they are not light. The original molds came directly from an Al Biesen stock which was put on a pantomime.
