2.5lbs is the standard weight for most of their stocks (except the PD/T which is about 3.5lbs standard), you have to ask for a lighter one for them to make it lighter unfortunately.

I agree about the recoil pad, I don't like the ventilated types, a lot of junk gets in them when I'm out hunting, but Stockade does have the option to put a solid recoil pad (I think its a Decelerator) for $15-30 dollars or something like that, can't check until the website comes back up, should be in about a week since they are finally having their website overhauled and having their entire inventory list updated with newer pictures and prices from what I remember.

Whats the finish on it? Is it glass bedded? Have you shot it? can you put up some pictures?

I would really like to know what you think about its performance on the field. Also you start load development for the 300WSM yet?
