Mine is about 41 oz.
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?

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.
I really like the result, when you ordered it, what 'custom' features did you add, if any? I have a blind mag LA, so most features make no difference with respect to looks. Thanks, kb
Just a note - all of Boyds' standard stocks come with 13 3/4" LOP - regardless of what size pad you put on - it is always going to be 13 3/4" unless you select a different LOP.
Whatever LOP you select will be what you receive (again regardless of pad selection)

Sure wish Boyd's would do a 13" LOP with a 1" pad, it get's old cutting stocks and grinding pads.
Having worked in a very high volume gun store for over 8 years, I know the demand is there. Most people don't know how a gunstock should really fit and they make due with the manufacturers compromise length of pull. That LOP is usually a youth length at about 12 1/2" to 12 3/4" or an adult length between 13 1/2" and 14".
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.
