[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 903008, member: 2736"] Yes; They are the heavy's of all the stocks. but with the wood grain running in many different directions they dampen the harmonics of firing, and with a good pillar bedding, They also absorb lots of sound and improve the balance of heavy barreled rifles. Composites have there place, especially when trying to reduce the overall weight. but some opt for the light weight of the composite stock and then hang a 4 pound scope on it defeating the purpose. As to the longevity of laminates; I have a match rifle that has fired over 20,000 rounds and is over 40 years old and it still looks and performs just as good with no failures, cracks or de-laminations. This is another Chevy / ford debate and there will always be different opinions on which is best. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
