It is a Savage 111 Light Weight Hunter (LWH) stock. I purchased a Savage 111 LWH new with a 20" 6.5x284 barrel. I sold the factory barrel as a new take off. I replaced the factory recoil lug with a SSS competition recoil lug, bedded the action and recoil lug. Then applied a satin black Gun-Kote finish to match everything up. Light weight rifles and recoil go hand-in-hand. So she kicks like a mule. The stock is too pretty to bang around in the woods. But I discovered the Savage LWH action will also fit a Savage LA CF stock since the bottom half dimensions of the LWH action are the same as those of a standard Savage CF action. I have a light (32 oz) Stockade Hunter LA stock to use for when I plan to bang around in the woods. It adds 8 oz of additional weight to the barreled action pictured above for a total scoped rifle weight of 7 lbs, 15 oz.
It should be noted for those condisering buying a Savage LWH action for a light weight build that the weight difference between a bare Savage LWH action and the bare Savage standard action is only about 1.5 oz. Most of the LWH rifle weight savings come from the use of composite bottom parts, a 20" FW contour barrel, and modified compact walnut stock.
