[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1867392, member: 54178"] Been thinking about installing flush cups on my new 6.5 PRC Browning X-Bolt Pro. The Pro models all have carbon fiber stocks and I really hate to mess with them. I could mount them in the same place as the regular sling studs but that would mean the butt flush cup would stick out "not flush" unless I ground down a "dip" in the stock. Unlike my Boyd;s laminated stock where I installed flush cups the X-Bolt Pro CF stock should look unsightly to say the least. SO... maybe I'll install a flush cup on the forearm only to ride my front bag better. Timnterra, i see your CF (or fiberglass?) stock broke at the wrist. My X-Bolt Pro carbon fiber laminate is put on in "sock" form so there are no seams [I]except [/I]at the wrist. i.e the butt CF "sock" and the forearm "sock" meet there and overlap, giving more strength. Hopefully I'll never see my stock broken -[U] ever![/U] I've always felt the strongest synthetic laminate stock would be one using Kevlar or Spectra. Likely some factory already does this. Eric B.
