[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 415572, member: 2736"] Like everything there are always differences in the manufacture of any material so I can only comment on the laminates I have owned and on the durability of these stocks. I have found them to be very stable and durable If the laminating process is done right they are very stable and water prof to a reasonable point. I make custom knifes and use laminated wood for the scales (Handles) and also exotic woods that have been stabilized. ( A process that forces resin in to the woods cellular structure making it almost 100% resin) and these knifes can be placed in a dishwasher without harm. I have never had the desire to submerge a rifle stock in water for 24 hours so I don't know what would happen but who would do this to a stock of any kind. There are some materials that are more stable. but they dont have the looks and feel of wood and in some cases they even amplify the sound and the harmonics. My preference is still the laminates for there all round qualities and price. Every type of material has it's strong points and it's weaknesses so like a lot of things it comes down to what you like and are willing to pay for it. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
