Wonder if any of you have tried the boyds feather light laminated stock?. I have the regular thumbhole and it is perfect for what I wanted –stiff and a great stock. I am just trying to find a lighter one for my other savage and was hoping after bedding it would be as stiff on the forearm as the normal thumbhole.

Thanks in advance.

The feather weights aren't flimsy, they just aren't solid wood up front like the standard version; They are very skelotonized.

The issue I had with them, the stock is SO thin, that heavy use/abuse, you can rip out the sling stud.

Laminated wood is heavy - no way around it - and even skeletonized more often than not it's still going to be as heavy or heavier than a non-skeletonized hardwood (maple or walnut) version of the same stock.
