[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 1882973, member: 111184"] That is how You’re right Cohunt. The lamination is very different between biathlon rifles and hunting rifles. Hunting rifle laminated stocks use much thinner laminates and are laminated horizontally (+ diagonally). The thinner thicknesses can even be bent. I have made curving wood stair rails via forming each 1/8” 8 - 12” piece and gluing with clamps every three inches. Soaking the wood facilitates bending and shaping multi-dimensional. The biathlon stock has vertical, thicker laminates. It looks to me like clear Alder which is one of the lightest hardwoods. Biathletes crave lightness. Birch is a more common hunting rifle laminate along with many beautiful hardwoods. Jerry, thanks for posting :) [/QUOTE]
