I'm looking to compliment my 19.6lb range rifle with something more packable. My plan is to continue using a Impact 737r but run a Proof Sendero barrel.

What are the current lightest folding/non-folding stock options out there, with an adjustable (or customizable) comb? I found a few older threads but may have missed any newer so feel free to redirect me.

Right now I'm looking at the AG Composites Adjustable Hunter model at 40oz. I want to make sure I don't miss any good options before I purchase. Thanks!

Another option is to get a manners EH1 and ask them to fit on the adjustable cheek piece developed for the compact stock.

If they do custom orders, and I could get a comb setup at my preferred height and avoid the extra weight of the adjustment mechanism, that's even cooler. Good suggestion, either way it's one more on the list to evaluate.

You have to add the weight of a butt stock to the XLR carbon so it is not the lightest chassis.

The MPA Ultralite is about 2.7 lbs with grip if I remember right. That’s pretty legit given adjustability and Arca rail etc.

I’m building a lighter hunter on it.

OP asked for the "lightest options" (plural)

XLR is one of the "lightest options. "

2.7 lbs = about 42 oz.

XLR = 27 oz. not including the butt, of which multiple options are avaiable.

I'll let the OP decide if he has to have the absolute lightest in the world ever in the history of mankind, or not. :)

From what I recall the adjustment for the lightweight cheek piece option for the EH1 (not the EH1A) is just a way to add on polymer spacers. The extra weight should only be a few ounces. Not sure whether they can customize it for you further. Would be interested if you make any interesting discoveries :)

Is the stock that pva is offering made by the same dudes that were making chad dixons element stock? If they ever make one in bdl with a sloped butt, man id be down.

If Christensen arms ever sells the MPR stock by itself it will be one of the lightest.

Side chick by Q is around 2.5 pounds I think.

There was one stock out of Europe that was pretty light and adjustable, but I can’t for the life of remember who made it.

We will be releasing a new updated chassis that will be able to be configured with different buttstocks and grips, folding or fixed from around sub 32 ounces (complete chassis W/ buttstock and grip weight is still be finalized) all the way up to 7+ pounds with additional weight kits. The standard configuration of that chassis that will be available within the next couple weeks will be 3 pounds with a fixed fully adjustable buttstock, ergo tactical deluxe grip at $595. The lighter weight options of this will soon follow after final testing. We currently have a 6.5 PRC with a 20" proof sendaro light barrel complete chassis, titanium action at 6 pounds 6 ounces! And could get it below 6 pounds. Will post more to follow.

Luth AR with a commercial AR buffer tube is pretty light, especially with the adjustability it has. I had one on an XLR Carbon chassis and it felt really nice.

Same experience on a MDT HS3. It's my light-ish 28 Nosler with a pencil barrel. The Luth is a *little* flimsy feeling buy very light and you can get it adjusted so it's really comfortable to get behind.

No sneak peeks? Not even if you rub vasoline on the camera lens first?

This chassis will be available for Rem 700 SA&LA (clones included) Savage SA top &Bottom bolt release, Tikka T3 SA &T1x, Savage Axis SA, Howa 1500 SA, and CZ 457. All ready to go right and left hand at the release, and other inlets will follow if they have high enough demand.

Here is a photo showing the lightest version of the new Element 3.0 chassis. As mentioned above this chassis will be able to be configured in a ton of different ways. from 28 ounces all the way up to 8+ pounds. All depends on buttstock grip, and forend option. Pricing is still getting worked on but we are REALLY close on having these available for purchase.
