That is a really nice setup. Do you happen to know the weights of the factory and McMillan stocks?

Factory synthetic was just about 29 ounces on my cheapie scale. Mcmillan is 23 ounces. Doesn't sound like much but feels like the world.

I like the leupold scopes the most based on their weight, if it didn't matter, I'd slap a nightforce on it. I think the VX-R 4-12x40 at 15 ounces is a LOT of scope for the weight and having illumination. I keep thinking that another 5 ounces off would be sweet. Its already a dream to carry. March makes a 5-25x42 that weighs around 18 or so ounces with illumination, but the cost is pretty high for me. Except for that one, I don't think there is a comparable scope on the market with illumination, 30mm tube, nice weight, that can beat the VX-R or the VX-6 at any cost.

We lost 3 ounces going to a McMillan Edge on a T3 but did have the stock custom painted so that could account for the few ounce difference.
