Well I just bought a Weatherby vangaurd in a 240 WBY, and want to build it into a light weight rifle.
Anybody have suggestions for a light weight stock, Also a good gunsmith to une this up and maybe do some fluting?
Thanks guys!

I put my vanguard in a Blackhawk axiom. Light, adjustable length of pull, and free floats the barrel

It takes 10 seconds and it’s free. To easy to make an excuse not to make your voice heard!!!!!!

My gun is being built right now with a manners stock. Took 10 months to get the stock delivered after placing the order. There are some ready to ship stocks on their web site if you don't need a custom one.

I like my Manners stock, except if you have it painted, don't expect the paint to hold up to much abuse. I waited 7-8 months for mine at the end of 2014.
