There’s other options for adding height to the stock. If you do go manners they make an ultra lite cheek piece that does not add much weight. Classic hardware is going to add around a pound. Beyond that you can use a stock pack, on my rifle I’m taking out this week it’s a non adjustable stock with a triad tactical stock pack on it. Weighs little, adds height and gives you a pocket for dope card, ammo, and some extra tape. You can also go full caveman and duck tape a chunk of foam on it like some guys do, but I’m assuming that’s not happening on a build your spending some money on.
Iv got an eh1, adjustable game scout and a game warden on hunting rifles now. Without hardware the mcmillan needs rise with any scope. I can use the eh1 with a 44mm bell scope and be okay. 50mm and up I’m looking at adding something to all my stocks. The rifle I’m taking out this week in a mcmillan game warden has a triad stock pack on it to add height.
Sounds like your looking for similar to the rifles I have built. Around 8-10 pounds depending on extra add ons. I do think this is a sweet spot.
Here’s a photo of the stock pack option. Currently kitted, this rifle weighs 10 pounds with bipod, different scope and suppressor.
