Last night I picked up a Savage 11 FCNS 7MM08 ACS DBM SYN. It is going to be a hunter class silhouette rifle. I don't like the accustock so I ordered a Boyds Prairie Hunter stock.
The replacement stock is listed at 2.8#, I'm wondering what my accustock weighs in at? I don't have my tools handy so I can't pull the current stock off to check. Any idea what the accustock weighs?
Mine is about 41 oz.
I should be good. I thank you for the info.
Here it is with the new stock.

Looks sweet!
Very nice indeed
Szumi. I just sent you a PM about the inletting for the bottom metal on this. I just received my boyds TH stock today and the bottom metal is nowhere near close. Mine is a top bolt release though. I was just wondering if yours was a good fit or if it required some modification.
It was a drop in. Bottom metal fit looks good to me.Quote:

I didn't add a single option. I was tempted to go for a longer LOP by paying for a thicker recoil pad but I'm going to try shooting it off hand first and see what tweaks I want to make as I gain experience with it.Quote:

Whatever LOP you select will be what you receive (again regardless of pad selection)

That is good to know. I was a bit uncertain about that when I looked at your options. Some time soon my Ruger M77 MKII will be getting one of your Prairie Hunter stocks. I'll let you put a cushy recoil pad on that one. .338 WM.Quote:

Yeah, I wish they went all the way down to 12 1/4" LOP, but there probably isn't enough demand in the market for such an option.Quote:

I'm a bit over 5'7" tall and the LOP I like is 13", it works well if I am hunting with an insulated jacket on or in a tee short. 13 1/2" is too long for me with an insulated jacket but I can make due with a tee shirt.
Boyd's goes from 12 3/4" with a 1/2" pad and 14 3/4" with a 1" pad. I don't know anyone that want's a 1/2" pad on a rifle that has even moderate recoil, if they like to shoot. Even a moderate recoiling rifle hurts after a while at the bench with a 1/2" pad.
I understand you can't please everyone but I know there are more people that truly need a 13" LOP than need a 14 3/4" LOP.
I was kinda looking for a reply from Boyd's about the LOP comments.
