You can make it light or as heavy as you want.

It may not be what your after but you could use stainless were I have used aluminum to add weight and function to a XLR element chassis. like a plate for the front rest and a bar on the fixed stock for the rear bag maybe a couple of bars to the forend sides for added weight that may get you closer to the weight your after

A actual aluminum stock may be hard to get to that weight without added bulk but I don't know no real experience here.
I have thought about this before and interested.

ask over at benchrest central.

Eric springman still makes them, springman rifles, I saw that on his Facebook account.

Try Yellow Jacket Rifles LLC.
Milwaukee Oregon.
He makes Custom Stocks for US and Canadian Palma and F-Class Shooter.
Action style is no problem.

My 1000 yard long-range pistol in the aluminum stock I mentioned weighs 24 lbs, a fella shooting a 30/338 with wider side panels weighs 34 lbs. How much heavier do you need?

Side panels can be removed, slim ones added or custom to 5 inches wide then can be filled with lead shot to satisfaction.

I think the difference is in the style he is looking for not just the weight and function.

This was made by Bruce Baer as stated in the article from Accurate Shooter. Here is the other side:

What does a stock like that sell for?
