The OEM stock I have weighs 2 lbs 4 oz I have a hard maple Diamond stock and it weighs 4 lbs 4 oz. The birch laminate stocks have weighed in at around 3 lbs 12-14 oz

I started work on developing a new stock for the Zeus. The comb on the OEM stock is very low for just about any scope use so will be addressing that problem along with my idea for style. I am still working on digitally shaping the stock but here is kind of where it is going right now.

Some images from the CAD model that is in works.
