Don't care for painted stocks, I like the McSwirl. Edge stocks don't have to be painted [bleep] a! Sweet! My next EDGE is going to be a bondo patch. Wonder how much weight the lack of paint saves?

Don't spec bondo, spec clear/gel coat.. I can't see any weight savings, but the F1 carbon fiber just looks bad ass.
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

Good to know RL.
And yes, the carbon fiber does look bad ass.

EDGE all the way. The edge has a performance benefit of increased stiffness and decreased weight. If the swirlie crowd is buying them based on perceived aesthetics, they still have no argument... and they should probably turn in their man card.

Bansner is nice as well, especially if one prefers the fuller chunky kind of feel. But it'll weigh another 5 oz or so as well.
That said, I can like them both a ton and it don't matter to me which one just give me one and I'll light the torch!

I'd do the Edge. I can't see putting up with 1/2 lb. more weight just to have some goofy swirl gel coat job. If we're talking a .375 H&H or .416 remington that needs the weight then that's another story, but on a light .223 I'll take the lighter weight every time. If you've gotta have some goofy pattern on your stock then take it down to the guy who airbrushes T-shirts at your local mall and tell him to have at it.

I've a 22" factory sporter .223AI in a mcswirly (compact). Balance is good and scoped it comes in a little less than 8 lbs. A remington sporter contour with a bore for a .223 isn't a "light" contour...considering weight/balance, it's a magnum(+) contour. ...go with a mcswirly on this one and then do the same build with a mt contour and edge next...

Edge stocks are not as solid as standard fill. Most respected smiths I've talked to shy away from it. I had a situation that definitely gave me reason to doubt in them. Edge is a slam dunk only if you intend to weigh your rifle and not use it.
