It's very light and feels solid to me, it does change the balance point but I didn't seem to notice a difference when shootingThat's good to hear about the new ones. I don't own a rifle or shotgun with a synthetic stock and only 2 of my 9 handguns have polymer frames (Ruger 22/45 and S&W Shield 40).
How does the synthetic stock feel compared to wood? I know it's subjective, but I was thinking of a black synthetic stock for a new to me Marlin 60 SB to keep in the vehicle.
