    Superlight Carbon Fiber Stock

    Going to start a new superlight hunting rifle build, who makes the the lightest stock for a proof sendero barrel? I’ve heard Proof makes them under 20oz’s but can’t find any for sale. What about the Peak44? Anyone use these stocks for a build? If so how do you like them?

      Still trying to decide between Defiance anti and Pierce titanium, heard Pierce only uses a steel bolt now

        Iota just came out with CF stocks. Crazy light, I felt one the other day and it was nice!

          I have one of these on the way. Close to 26oz. hence the name Hunt26.

          The first purpose-built hunting chassis from MDT. Weighing in starting at 26oz (for chassis stock, buttstock, forend and pistol grip combined), this is the most ultra-light hunting rifle chassis on the market.

            Proof stocks are possibly the lightest out there…I think. Could be wrong but I think they are sub 20oz

            Edit…I see proof isn’t offering the stocks any more.

                I edited my post, looks like Proof isn’t selling just their stocks anymore. They used to and when I was looking to build an ultralight rifle they were the lightest ones I found.

                  The Peak 44 Blacktooth is 20oz they claim the lightest on the market. It’s the same stock that Weatherby is using on their Backcountry models.

                        Mark Bansner has carbon/fiberglass hybrids in the 22 ounce range.

                          Back in the day, 80’s and 90’s, Brown Precision offered a raw Kevlar stock that was called the “pounder” , weight was around 15 ounces. 4-5 more ounces were added after bedding and paint. Every blue moon you can find one for sale but it’s very rare.

                          Bansner made similar stocks in the 90’s as RR 314 mentioned. MPI was another company building lightweight stocks but they were very inconsistent and had poor QC. If wanting to save ounces, blind magazine ADL is the way to go.

                            I just upgraded to a Peak 44. Im glad I went Peak 44 instead of a Proof Stock. I looked at all the stocks on the market and chose Peak. I was nervous but took a chance and now I’m never looking back. Absolutely love the combination with My proof barrel, rem 700 action chambered in 300 win mag.

                            Took just under two months for me to get it in after placing the order. That’s the time I was quoted. Stock will need to be bedded

                            With a Vx5hd Leupold 56mm scope gun weight is exactly 8 pounds and shoots lights out, light and looks amazing.

                              If you aren't put off by the barrel dimension constraints, the Manners Ultra Classic is about as light as it gets. I just weighed one at 19 oz. You can get a little lighter overall build if you are going for a fly weight by using an appropriate steel blank vs. a proof.
