[QUOTE="jakelly, post: 1932592, member: 26850"] That stock was designed with two parts foam and two parts fail! I certainly wouldn’t carry that thing on an important hunt. Could you imagine falling on that styrofoam cooler?! Hunt OVER. Not a tactical rifle? [I]Clearly not an Alpine hunting rifle either. [/I]Take a peek at the instructions? [I]There isn’t anything written about bipods or second studs.[/I] Heavy tac bipod? [I]Atlas bipods weigh less than Harris and the million knock-offs. [/I] I can’t honestly understand why people are defending making a stock like this, especially on a $3-4K rifle. It’s unacceptable. Brown precision, Manners ultralight, and others are super light and strong. Not saying the OP doesn’t have some responsibility, but that stock failed at conception. [USER=69437]@naja302[/USER] honestly you got lucky. This could have happened shortly after the bush plane vanished behind a ridge on a seven day bear hunt you saved your whole life for. Or the styrofoam could have let go while a loved one was attempting a shot. Thank God no one was hurt. You found a MAJOR weakness before it really bit anyone. Truly you got off as cheap as possible. I’ve also changed my mind regarding this stock, I wouldn’t fix it. I would list it “as is” for sale here and call McMillan or Manners. Someone trusts their ability to fix it and wouldn’t mind it as second “ugly” option for their nice walnut stocked Cooper. [/QUOTE]
