[QUOTE="ctbreitwieser, post: 804909, member: 68022"] If this is the wrong section I apologise, I wasnt sure where to put this. And hopefully I dont stir as much up as my last post did, but I did a search of this and learned a lot, but still have a couple questions. Now that "I think" Ive settled on the standard 30-06 for my build, Im debating on stocks. The style I like is the "tactical" look that most companys call them. Ive looked at all brands from Boyds to Mcmillan and I cant decide for sure, so here is what Im looking at with average prices from lowest to highest. Boyds Tacticool Centerfire- $110 Bell & Carlson Medalist Tactical- $240 Choate Tactical- $270 Manners and McMillan- Way too much for my empty pockets So now I ask, why spend so much on a stock? I learned from my searches that laminate can be just as strong and weather resistant as composite stocks, and with a proper pillar and glass bed is there any reason the Boyds wouldnt be as good as the B&C or Choate? My understanding is that both of those, despite having an aluminum bedding block, would still benefit from a full glass bed. So I dont see the benefit of spending more only to still require bedding, when I can make my own pillars on my lathe. Just to get this out there, even though I was a DM for the Corps, Ive never really been into long range shooting, I was just good at it. But its starting to interest me more and more, so I appreciate everything you guys can teach me, and I love me some knowledge. Thanks, Clint [/QUOTE]
