Lite and durable synthetic stock

[JFrank]

Looking to buy a super lite but durable synthetic stock for a hunting rifle build, not sure whats out there as I have been out of the loop

What Brand rifle or action?

To the OP, I suggested the two Manners for several reasons... durability, light weight, very attractive, but mostly because they have reasonably high combs.
For some reason, stock makers often forget that hunters need a proper cheek weld too. For me, the McMillan hunters edge could have been a complete knockout (I own a few McMillans so not bashing) but the comb is far too low.

Behind those two (EH3/EH6) I’d suggest a plain old McMillan BDL.. very attractive stock.

Clancy,

You are right on the money about the comb being way to low on the McMillan Game Warden stocks. A fantastic stock otherwise. They really need to fix this, and I am a McMillan fan as well. Hope Kelly McMillan is listening.

What Brand rifle or action?

It will be a 700 or 700 style action

A lightweight chassis is a thought

Tikka rifles are on sale and very light
Get the rifle cheaper than an action- Deer don't care

Do you want a stock now or 7 months from now? That may influence which one you get

Almost always a way around that, just gotta look hard
