Going to start buying parts for a new build, and want to try to find the lightest "tactical" stock available that has still proven stable/accurate and tough in service.
I've handled or fired a couple of weapons on AI, HS, or McMillan A-series stocks and I know they are very accurate and durable, but I need to keep the weight down as far as possible. I like the Savage LE Accustock because it's accurate and it's a perfect weight and the beaver tail forend is perfect - not a hunting profile but not too wide either. But I really want a different angle on the grip. I shoot noticeably better with more vertical hand grips. While finding and spreadsheeting weight specs I thought I'd ask here, too, in case someone has already been down this road already.
I'm hoping the action will be Savage 10 or Win/FN M70, but if I gotta go Remington to get what I want that's no biggie either. And I'll be going with a 20" fluted barrel so I don't need weight fill for balancing. Looking for lightweight, near vertical grip, and a bedding block.
Any suggestions?
