Hunting & Fishing Suggestions for lightweight hunting stock!

[mustang-cars]

I'm trying to build a lightweight hunting rifle. I will be using a Defiance Hunter short action, Proof carbon barrel 24" sendero light, triggertech diamond, 6.5CM. I want the Manners EH-1 but I don't want to wait for it. I've heard a year wait time is not unreasonable. I looked at the Gunwerks stocks but the mid level carbon fiber one is $1300. Not sure if its worth the cost. I do want a vertical grip as I don't shoot traditional stocks well. Looking around I don't see a whole lot of options but I'm sure I'm missing something. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks

Manners is coming out with a SUPER light, like 16 oz naked stock, soon. Felt it at Shot show. amazing. Nothing will compare.

Second choice is by a stock company called JCS Composites. My rifle below is under 10 lbs as sits with a decent heavy scope and barrel. Think I weighed the stock at a smidge over 2lbs with BM and butt pad. This is a vert grip one tho. Their hunting grip style is lighter.

Last choice is a Proof lightweight stock. Its not out yet but looks promising as well.

Other options already exist. This sounds like “two more weeks”. ;-/

Have you looked at AG Composites? They are based in Louisiana and seem very nice.

Yes I just stumbled across them an hour ago. They seem like good stocks. I would like to know how rigid they are. I called and they have a 4-8 week lead time which is pretty reasonable.

I have one due in three weeks. They seem very good people to deals with so far. Will let you know when it lands.

I used an AG composites on my last build. I've owned McM and Manners and the AG is every bit as good. Honestly the in-letting was as good or better on the AG. Super rigid, strong, and light. No hesitation to use them in the future from me.

McMillan Gamescout in the lightweight option. McMillan has some colors that are ready for inletting. Typically a 2-4 week turnaround time. I love this stock and run one with a Proof barrel. Perfectly light for hunting.
