Hi all. I know you guys are going to think I am nuts, but I am now thinking of just trying to make this 270 work for me. Heck, if I can do that I can afford a youth rifle for my kids!
As stated in other threads I have a bad shoulder and the recoil of this 6.5 pound gun bothers me. Have any of you changed to the Boyd's walnut or laminate stocks and gained some weight as a result? I have read that the factory walnut stocks are about a pound heavier, but I would like to verify if that is the case with the Boyd's. Boyd's says they are 2.8 pounds. Does anyone know what the factory synthetics weigh? Thanks.
