advise building long range rig

[Barrythecableman]

My 7 rem mag wears a wood stock my 35 whelen wears a composite the 35 is lighter with a longer heavy weight barrel. That is why I would like a composite stock as 5 to 7 miles a day elk hunting is common for were I like to go and I am not used to the altatude of co. So every oz counts.

Truthfully I have 3 mosin actions built 6.5/54r improved, 7.62x54r bond with a 308 bore and a 9.3x54r ,two k98s one in a 350 rem mag one in a 35/300 win mag and a Stevens 200 in a 35 whelen that will soon be a 35 Sherman.

I like the work, I like the results, and I have a lot of free time in the winter.

Not a lot of options in the light weight options. Boyd's are good but heavy. If weight was the deciding factor for me I would use a composite axis stock and stiffen thee forend and pillar it. Othe than lack of stock options I like building on the axis platform

Thanks for the opinion bc160

If every ounce counts then ask McMillan if they will cut one of their new carbon fiber stocks for an Axis. IIRC they weigh in at 7oz.
