So I thought I'd reach out here as well. Stocky's carbon fiber stock should be here tomorrow. Have moderately high hopes. Time will tell.
What does the Stockys Carbon fiber stock weigh!
I like the split pic rail scope mount or the leupold backcountry mounts. Both give you better access dealing with feeding/extraction malfunction! The one piece rail makes it too tight for me. The leupold BC are probably the lightest way to go and Burris split rail makes it easier to swap multiple scopes around. I like a high mag scope for load development and lightweight, low power variable for hunting. I swap back and forth frequently with the split base pic rail and little to no adjustment in zero.

As far as bottom metal, do you want to use mags or prefer a clean bottom profile and hinged floor plate internal mag? Ive got both Hokey Pokeys original factory replacement and his hinged floor plate internal mag. Both work as advertised. Also have Waynes (Oregon Gunsmithing?) hinged floor plate internal mag and it works great as well! Hokey Pokey has since come out with a CZ mag replacement that looks great and Im sure works well too. Loads of options. I like using mags for load development, find it more convenient with an internal mag and a hinged floor plate for hunting! YMMV!
