Not on the early ss classics. All early SA stainless classics were fw contour. It will just be labeled classic stainless on the barrel. Didn't remember that, but just pulled mine out and it's also "Classic Stainless" - no featherweight mentioned. FW barrel - 22" & 0.565" diameter at muzzle These are really nice rifles.

A picture would be a tremendous help. There are a lot of us that have had model 70's with the tupperware stock and some of us have weighed them. The ones I've had, weighed in at around 30-32 oz's. Same same for a wood stocked classic sporter stock. Now, if you are wanting to go to a classic wood fwt stock, it should weigh less than a factory tupperware by a few oz's... Also keep in mind wood stocks weigh different, depending on wood density.. I wish I had my new XTR FWT 22-250 in hand, I'd weigh it and that would give you a good idea on how much a fwt short action wood stock weighs. A stock of that nature would bolt right up to your classic and look great..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

It sounds like he has one of the "All Terrain" rifles. They were essentially a Featherweight barrel profile in a Featherweight style tupperware stock. For all intents a Featherweight, just not sold as such. I had one for a while. A wood featherweight stock will weigh roughly the same. A McMillan Edge Featherweight or Classis compact will be a few ounces lighter. A standard fill McMillan will weigh more. https://www.bing.com/images/search?...in&tsc=ImageHoverTitle&FORM=IGRE
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

All terrain was never offered in SA. It was introduced in ‘96.

Nice Ak, but where are the pics of the OP's rifle? I don’t have them, but if it’s a five digit classic stainless 308 with a synthetic stock - there’s only one option if it’s factory original.

How much does an 18 pack weight full and most importantly empty??
I pm my email to him got no response on the pictures.
I am also jealous I have the same rifle and mine weighs an oz more.

Are the Stainless Classics with the Factory Walnut Featherweight Stocks rarer than the synthetic stock ones ? I have a 5 Digit Stainless Classic with Walnut stock in 30-06.

Those leupolds have a lot of plastic parts in them.. I personally like having the floor plate, myself. Could you not afford to do it right?

Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.
