Weight at the back of a gun does more to how it handles than weight anywhere else, and this is where DLG have cut it. At 215g the TBS Classic is the lightest thing in their buttstock line and 75g below the chunkiest, which you notice the moment you bring a rifle up.
The slim profile is the trade. Forty millimetres across means less to grip with a cheek and less padding either side of your face, so it suits players who shoot with a high, light cheek weld rather than those who bury into a stock.
None of the engineering is stripped out to get there. The rubber butt pad is still moulded in, the base still carries a QD sling loop, and the latch still has the two-stage action that lets you pull the stock clean off the tube for transport.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the one to buy if I want light?
Yes — nothing DLG make in this family is lighter. The TBS Select shares the same 40 by 120mm footprint but weighs 27g more.
Commercial or mil-spec?
Commercial-spec only. DLG do not build a mil-spec TBS Classic at all, so if your tube is mil-spec this is not the stock for you — look at the TBS Sharp instead.
Is a slim stock less comfortable?
It depends entirely on how you shoot. A narrow stock is quicker to get behind and less likely to catch on gear; a wide one spreads the load on your cheek. Neither is better, and anyone who tells you otherwise is describing their own face.
Does it come off the tube easily?
Two clicks on the latch. The first lets it slide, the second releases it from the tube.
What colours does DLG make it in?
Black, beige and green. The black is what we hold — say the word if you would rather have one of the other two and we will chase it up with the supplier.
