Wildcat vs Bansner vs McMillan vs Brown
- Thread starter Brambles
- Start date
I have used more Brown Precision than anything else, but the next one is going to be a Wildcat. I am going to spend my money in Canada, but more importantly I have not heard a single negative thing about these stock!
Anyone know how much one costs these days? Web address?

bansner
Bansner are light and feel great i realy like them, rimrock is another dandy feeling stock, both are a pair of the lightest i have held. I have'nt owned any of the others but have held a couple and for the money i like the two i have mentioned. Not every stock feels good to every person so i would try to check a few out if you know anyone who has any, see how they feel to you. Of the ones mentioned they are all good quality.

some data points for you, actual weights including bedding, paint, swivels, and a 1" decellerator (all Winchespter M70)
Brown Precision 26 oz
Banser 25 oz
Rimrock 33-35 oz
McMillan featherweight pattern 33 oz
Mcmillan offers the most styles, and are checkered (as are rimrocks).

good info, thanks for posting those weights.
My factory synthetic stock on my ultimate shadow is approx 28 oz. I guess I'm not gaining much by getting a new stock for that one, will look better though!!!
The factory walnut mountain rifle stock is well over 32 ounces, I'll have to weigh it again to get a solid number. Good thing because thats the one that needs a stock first

Brambles, why not just hog out the walnut stock, apply a bit of fiberglass in the foreend, some expanding foam in the buttstock?
You will reduce the weight quite a bit and still have a very strong product (at least for shooting not banging down doors).
If willing to pay that type of money, why not look at Lone Wolf? Many are 16oz or lighter. The Barnser stocks should be around a lb too.

NEW Hunters EDGE Ultralight.
We created this new ultralight hunting stock using the technology we developed for the very popular EDGE benchrest stock. It is a slim classic style and may be inletted for any right or left hand Remington 700 or Model 7, Savage, Winchester Model 70 or Montana 1999 bolt actions in most bottom metal configurations. The slender forend will accept up to a factory magnum barrel contour or custom barrel similar to a #3 Douglas or smaller. This all-graphite stock comes standard with aluminum pillars, a 1/2" Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad and two sling studs in any of our painted colors. The finished stock will weigh in at 21-23 ounces, depending on the action cutout. It is not available in molded-in camo or marble finishes in order to save weight. Though an ultralight, it is still guaranteed to handle the recoil of all magnum cartridges thru .338 caliber.
That sounds very light for a finished stock.

I have a McMillan Hunter's Edge coming to be fit to a FN98 Husky action than has just been custom barreled in 6.5 Swede. It is coming from McMillan as unfinished and will be inletted for this action and barrel. Talley Lightweight rings/mounts, Gentry safety and a hinged floorplate assembly will make it just what I what for most hunting.
I have one WildCat stock on a Husky 1950 in .270 and it seems pretty good but I may shorten the fore-end somewhat to stiffen it up.

Stuart makes stocks for many actions.
A friend donated his factory M70 Classic Featherweight long action for a sacraficial stock to make a mold,..so I know he does this one.
I've also seen, Mauser '98, Sako AII/L579 Varmint, Sako AI/L461, Rem Model Seven, the schnabel foreend style...he does this pattern with a short 700 inlet too.
I'm sure there are others...

Do a search on here. Stuart used to have a shop on the south side of Edmonton, but has moved out to an acreage I'm told. Someone here will have his new number. - dan
