Finally got around to upgrading the factory tupperware on my Lightweight Hunter . Pattern is Fred's Monte Carlo Sporter that we put on a diet. With the factory stock it weighed in at 5.9-lbs. Now with the walnut stock and bottom metal it only went up a touch to 6lbs. 2oz., so a difference of maybe 3-4 ounces. Finished the stock with 8 applications of 100% Pure Tung Oil and multiple coats of paste wax. Was hoping that it would have darkened up more, but still looks good.
