[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 400435, member: 2736"] Sorry Chas1. I love the wood stocks best But you have to full pillar bed and float the barrel before you can expect any accuracy, and even then after a while it can change the POI . The stock blanks that are cut in half and reversed and glued together work very well because the grain is apposed to it's self.(It tends to counteract the tendency to warp). The wood stocks can be made to shoot very accuratly but it takes more effort than a laminate or a composite. If a rifle is going to be exposed to extreme climate conditions then I use laminates or composites. If not then I use composites for accuracy and wood for looks. They all have there place just like different calibers and I try to pick the best one of each for the intended use. (A show rifle will definitely be in a good custom wood stock). This is just me. different strokes for different folks. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
