My bdl 270 in a hogue with full alumimun bedding thing in it and scope weighs 9+.
My SPS 700 AAC-SD doesn't weigh that much. If it had the full bedding block like my 270 I could probably deal with it. I really just would like a stock that looks like a tranditional one, but fitted for the larger diameter barrel. I do not like a fat pistol grip, which is one of the things I don't like about the hogue. So.... that may put me into a Magpul hunter stock. I looked at one, it was pretty light.

Spend a little extra and get a Manners or Mcmillan. They are so much better than anything factory it is not even funny. Worth every penny IMO.

At the time I needed it right away. The lady said the pro varmint was the only one they had for the Ruger American, but had others that should be available soon. I actually want a blue one...

I'm enjoying it, so far. A little tame for my blood, but that 8 round group was about as fast as I could cycle the bolt, not quite, but nearly. Now, if I could do 50 rounds inside 1MOA at 300 yards, I'd be impressed. I don't think that skinny little barrel will stand up to it, though. Overall, I'd buy it again.
I've been considering, when I burn this one out, getting a carbon fiber barrel for it. I'd have to get the stock modified, though (I think).

I just discovered Stockys now has a couple American stocks that has an aluminum bedding V block in it. It actually looks very nice. It is a lot more money than a Boyds, but looks like another good option.

That is step compared to the same stock for a Remington 700.
I ended up getting a Boyds at one for my AAC. Can't wait for it to get here. I am gonna have it pillar and glass bedded.
