[QUOTE="BigDaddyKane, post: 496963, member: 32232"] I originally thought if I didn't weld the aluminum I would just buiild a two piece set up with the frame as two aluminum bars parallel to eachother and just bolted together. But I didn't like the idea of the frame being pieced together. I like the idea of fusing the metal all together. With that in mind... steel. I have read a lot about the fiberglass that they are using on boats. They make a marine glass that is impact resistant to a like 150 lbs I think. I'll have to double check. Considering that the 300WM I'm using only has a recoil of about 25ft/lbs I'm assuming the glass will be plenty strong. Especially if I use the fiberglass cloth in addition to the resin. Aall in all, it's mainly just a filler. The action will be bolted straight to the steel frame. So I'm not too worried about making the stock bullet proof, but strong enough to handle everything, still be easy to carve, and low cost. [/QUOTE]
