If you are open to manufacturing your own suppressor you may want to look into a hybrid design that incorporates rear baffles. I have one that was made by Dark Horse, and a second one that I self-manufactured custom fitting purposes. Like you, I wanted a balance of minimal overall length and...

There are a lot of opinions on this topic, so I'll just contribute mine with a little back information, as I moved to TX from WA, and grew up in the MT rockies. I've noticed the "wisdom" and preferences relating to hunting rounds differ between those three states. Foremost, be sure that you have...

I have also been using a combination of handheld thermal and a PVS 14 NV monocular. In my case I have found that I prefer using an IR laser vs. a dedicated scope, but that has limitations in range. There are a lot of options in terms of configuration. My main piece of advice for you is to try...

Thanks. Can you also give me a general idea of the actual thickness of the thickest portion of CF that you recommend? Also, what about other areas of the stock such as the butt, handguard, etc? That helps me with design in terms of the minimum thickness dimensions that are required. BTW, I've...

Are you also using CF for the bedding and for sole support of pillars? From what you write it sounds like the there is very little total thickness required to provide the strength that is needed. That in turn really opens up what can be done with "radical" design of the rifle stock, which is...

Any further information that you are willing to share on this subject? I am specifically trying to find out how many layers of CF are needed to withstand recoil force w/.308 bolt action. I am not trying to make a stock that has the same shape and dimensions as traditional stocks do so I need to...
