[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1260100, member: 74902"] Depending on the model, it might be somewhat lighter since it doesn't use the aluminum bedding block. The fiberglass stock would be somewhat stiffer too. Stiffness can aid accuracy. Fiberglass usually has to be "glass bedded" though to achieve the same stock to action fit as the aluminum bedding block. Glass bedding is basically creating a custom glove like fit between the action and the fiberglass stock. Thick epoxy glue and a release agent - like shoe polish to keep the action and stock from being permanently welded together - are used to kind of mold the glass stock so that there is a perfect fit between it and the action. The plastic Accustock with the molded in aluminum bedding block is just a cheaper way of getting the same accuracy potential of a properly glass bedded fiberglass stock. [/QUOTE]
