First off I'm new to the buying aftermarket stock thing. Im looking for a lightweight vertical grip stock for a mountain rifle build.
The top 3 I've come up with is
1. Gamescout w/ edge fill- 1.5-1.8lbs? (havent seen any hard numbers on this yet, I've emailed macmillian)
2. Manners T2 100% carbon fiber shell. 2.1lbs
3. Macmillian A3 w/ edge fill. 2lbs
Is there any other lightweight stocks in the same category I'm missing?
The game scout with edge fill has my highest attention since it is the lightest and the forend seems slimmer than the A3. but I'm worried about the comb not being high enough. I usually always shoot prone but my scope is a 40 mm on low night force rings. so the comb may be high enough?
The A3 forend felt way too wide for my taste. out of the 3 stocks the a3 is the only one I've personally handled.
Also, where have you guys been buying your stocks from? What kind of wait times have you experienced? Is it better to order it with no inlet and have a smith inlet it or have it come inletted?
