FITS: Howa 1500/ Weatherby Vanguard Short Action. New Product! Knoxx announces the release of the Axiom Ultra-Light. The Axiom Ultra-Light incorporates the same design features and recoil reduction capabilities as the Axiom V/S Rifle Stock, but instead of the solid aluminum forend it utilizes a reinforced polymer forend. The composite forend is extremely durable and helps reduce the overall weight stock to 2 lbs. 9 oz. Accuracy, durability and no harsh recoil is a definite formula for success.
