[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 892966, member: 30902"] Yes you can. Laminates are almost as strong as the best composites and just as weather proof as long as you reseal the channel and action area after final fitting, floating etc. I probably wouldn't put one on anything bigger than a 338wm, but wouldn't hesitate up to them. When you get into the super magnums it's probably best to go with one of the better composites just due to the higher density of the material and lower likelihood of it ever cracking or splitting. Solid wood is a different story because it does not have the epoxy embedded into it to strengthen it that the laminates do. I talked to one of the better custom composit stock makers in the country about possibly "needing" to replace one of my laminates with one of his and said there was really no need, not enough increase in strength to make a difference on a 300wm. Of course all that did was sell me on doing business with him in the future. [/QUOTE]
