Hi everyone. I was looking at a Manners stock which is only available in the "elite hunter" configuration. The shell is made of 100% carbon fiber. My questions are:
1) durability over time in comparison to a regular Manners or another more conventional composite stock? Is a 100% carbon fiber one easier to scratch? Is it kinda brittle? I have also heard that small scratches can create weaknesses that can manifest later on.
2) i assume that a 100% carbon fiber stock breaks/fractures more easily than a more traditional one. I am curious about actual field reports by you guys: is this an issue while hunting? Consider that I don't baby my rifles at all but i don't even treat them as trash.
3) what is you general opinion about pros and cons of 100% carbon fiber stocks?
Thanks everyone
Ciao!
