[QUOTE="ejg, post: 277177, member: 12381"] Just my guess now.. I think that wood can have great vibration dampening. But it is difficult to get the transition from the metall action to the wood so that the action can relay the vibration into the stock. Then the moisture issue with wood. Another theorie might be to have a stock as stiff as possible bedded as good as possible to the action. The weight of the stock will directly hold against the recoil. My guess is the high end stocks will be more and more made of carbon fiber in the future. I have experimented with wood and carbon wich worked well for me anyway. Lately also with russian hollow glass fiber and carbon composite stocks. Apparently the hollow fibers have apart from high stiffnes values also very good dampening behaviour. Hell knows if we can notice it in reality. I'd go with composite. edi [/QUOTE]
