[QUOTE="Stgraves260, post: 1830979, member: 19988"] My personal reason I like the the composite stocks is the aluminum bedding. It makes the stock very sturdy// strong. You also don’t have to worry about the stock swelling or splitting it humid weather. I have been told a wood stock don’t swell. Problem is I have replaced rifle stocks before because they swelled. One was in my gun safe witch scared me. I have a humidity gauge in my safe. I may have not wiped the stock off good enough after a hunt I got caught in the rain. I had another split on me while I was just varmint hunting with friends in Cisco Texas. I couldn’t tell you what happened there. It swelled so bad it split down the front of the gun towards the hinge floor plate. After that second incident, I have replaced all my guns with either composite stocks or all aluminum chaises. After that, no more stuck hinged floor plates Or splitting stocks. No more worries. I got lucky on catching the split stock before I pulled the trigger. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
