Default Heavy synthetic style stock

Does anyone know if they make a synthetic style rifle stock that is heavy like laminate. If I decided to keep the 7mm I would like to swap out the stock as I personally like it heavy.

Not cheap, but McMillan makes stocks with heavier fill. H-S Precision and B&C make stocks with bedding blocks that aren't light, for much less cash. All of my customs wore McMillan BDL pattern stocks, but standard fill.

Thanks for the reply elk. Prophet River has a couple left hand for the 700 $450.00 weighs 2.5 pounds. Can they be filled? And would that make of stock change felt recoil and muzzle jump?

I put a B&C stock on my 270 tikka T3 lite last summer added a bit of weight but decreased the jump it is really nice to shoot now(bought and shipped from Prophet River it was a really smooth process )also left handed.

I have filled injection moulded stocks with epoxy and lead shot to add weight. You have to mess around with distribution to get proper ballance. It is very doable but takes time/ planning.

Seems to me Boyd's make laminates that would fill the bill for you, worth a look anyway, maybe Stocky's too.

What about a mag pull hunter 700l stock? Added weight to one of my rifles. You can look at them on Amazon if want to. Amazon never had any available but the local gunsmith got me one cheaper than Amazon but it took a month or so shipping to get it

Look at foundation stocks. They're new to the market within a few years, great style and feel to them.
