I wouldn't consider $550 cheaping out.... I've been extremely pleased with my VG2 carbon fiber stock on my 6.5 Sherman.
I am also impressed with the VG2 carbon fiber stock I have on my 6.5 Gap
i have not personally weighed my stock. The Stockys web site says 30-32 oz

I have the Carbon Fiber M50 on one of my rifles. Nice stock, very pleased with it.
They are indeed made by AG Composites and are great stocks. I have 2 of them.
As stated they were made by AG. They are at least as good as McMillan or Manners. I do not believe they are making stocks for stockys any longer. They have updated their website and are moving more towards a McMillan or manners business model with the intention of trying to keep lead times to around 2 months while offering custom options. I have had multiple vg2s and have a Mesa precision stock made by AG with an Alpine hunter on the way for a review. The most noticeable thing to me is they are coming in much lighter than a McMillan or Manners with the same recoil pad.
Yea stockys told me they were going to be switching to making there stock all in house. I had contacted them because they don't offer a left handed option. They emailed me back saying they were going to be making them in-house in the next couple of months and would email me when the left handed version would be available.

I bought the M50, same color as the one above, to go on my Bergara 6.5cm. The Bergara action did not line up in it right so I took it to a local gunsmith to let him do some trimming to make it fit. In the process, some of the paint got damaged on both sides by the action. Not sure if this was from being clamped in a vise, or if it was from some solvents that ran on the paint. I guess the paint they use just wasn't very durable. Other than that, I think the stock feels great, the texture is nice and it has just the right palm swell.
