Besides weight what are the pro's and con's?

Thanks. Somehow I missed the conversation or perhaps slept since I read it.

Some interesting and enlightening observations pertaining to both. If the fiberglass actually mitigates felt recoil a bit more than does the carbon fiber…..that helps a bit with the decision for my wife's rifle.

I'd really like to get her a new carbon fiber, which is a much improved stock over her "mattel" plastic stock, but she will not consider a brake and is very resistant to the additional expense! And to add insult to injury……she hunts with a "push feed" Model 70 Win! memtb

Thanks. I found the info I was looking for. Still undecided.
