Abolt woodstock weight

[WhelanLad]

Hey guys with wood stocked Abolts, does the rifle feel heavy?
have you by chance compared the Synthetic an Wood versions side by side?

Thanks in advance

My Abolt medallion 7wsm, love the wood, not sure of the weight but its a lite gun and well balanced. I looked at a plastic stock but am a sucker for gougeous peace of walnut.

The wood stocked versions feel slightly heavier than the composite stocked models but neither one is a very heavy rifle.

My wood-stocked .280 is an ounce shy of 7 lbs, bare and unloaded. It feels considerably lighter than my Rem 700 CDL or my Ruger Hawkeye, neither of which I would call "heavy".

my wood stocked abolt 270 seems light and kicks smartly

Thjanks guys, I own the Plastic version but a young friend was looking into a woodstock .270 Abolt, i just didnt want to get his hopes up without handling it himself....

Seems as if it were all ok an he purchased the rifle


Cheers!

Sometimes ive found a woodstock to be rather light...when comparing to friends synthetic model rifles, althought whats ontop makes a difference too!

X 2 on the wood , Good wood on traditional rifles and shotguns ,it makes them feel that you have quality in your hands . sit and polish the wood and then try it with composite it just loses that warm fuzzy feeling.
