I also have an SPS left handed rifle, though in 300 WM, yours looks great but I'm not sure I want mine any lighter, maybe if it was a .270
Again, great work!

The Wildcat blank is in that range, but if you have it done by a smith you need them to finish inleting, cut and shape the bolt cut out and bed before you have it painted or dipped. Plus a recoil pad. The Wildcat blanks are not drop in.
The price for my Wildcat was:
-Sanded and filled blank + tax and shipping: ~410
Inlet, fit and bolt cutout: $50
Bedding: $ 130
Paint: $150
Swivel install: $35
I did recoil pad myself
These prices are from memory, but are in the ballpark.
So the price of a Wildcat varies quite a bit depending on the amount of work you do yourself.
Worth it for a stiff, strong, ergonomic and quality stock. Mine finished at 19.8oz with pad.
