To my knowledge, Brown Precision has the lightest, with their "Brown's Pounder". A 16oz offering. But, I don't know if it is offered any longer. Website is:

You can try
Lone wolf or
Hi-Tec . I have one of the 17oz. Hi-Tec stocks. It is very stiff and well finished.
As far as the Lone Wolf I do not know that much about them. I have read some not so good things about their service here on AR. But I think they have a stock that weighs 12oz.
Good luck Shawn
I have never had a Lone Wolf stock in my hands, so I cannot comment on them.
Among light stocks, I can recommend Brown Precision as being very nice (and great to deal with). I prefer the High Tech Specialties stock (from Bansners's) mostly because I like its lines better and it arrives needing less finishing.
The High Tech Specialties stock I have is extremely light and stiff. I compared it to my McMillan stock by twisting both in a vice, and if there was any difference it was in favour of the High Tech Specialties!

I don't know where the bad rep comes from on the Lone Wolf rifle stocks but my experience with them has been positive. I had a Summit (15 oz.)stock built for a LH Browning A-Bolt and have been extremely pleased with it. It is much stiffer than a comparable H-S Precision stock and the dimensions suit me well. Fit and finish were perfect and it compliments the barreled action very well. Time to build was close to promised and post sale emailed questions have been answered within 24 hours. They will build my next stock.

prof242My experience mirrors jpb's. I now use High Tech stocks unless they don't make one for a particular rifle, then I use Brown's.
By the way, have a Brown's thumbhole on a Contender carbine. Everyone who's handled it and fired it comment, "I gotta get me one a these!"

I've had a Brown Pound'r for about 15 years on a Sako 243 and it has weathered use very well. It is relatively easy to bed but the kevlar is difficult to prepare for painting. I didn't bother painting in the end and the stock seems impervious to trips down scree slopes and bush snags.
