I am installing a custom built Boyds Gunstock Industries laminate gunstock on my Browning AB III Synthetic Stalker 270 Win replacing the factory stock.
Does your bolt contact the stock when it is closed? I ordered the exact some stock but in grey and it refused to fit. The bolt handle would contact the stock and prevent the bolt from fully closing.
I don't know, I didn't think of weighing it before/after. I will say that it is heavier than the synthetic stock. It feels more substantial and much more solid.
@MarW I went with the prairie hunter and it added about a pound and a half. I disagree with your thoughts on weight. Guns don't need to be heavy to be accurate. I enjoy my carbon fiber hunting rifles and save my heavyweights for the range or lazy treestand hunts
