[QUOTE="trebark, post: 342923, member: 19172"] I have one of each.... Laminate: [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-308-1k-rifle-evolution-continues-43510/[/URL] Composite (with integral aluminum bedding block) [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/URL] In terms of performance, as long as you seal the laminate stock well and pillar bed it, I find no difference in performance/durability. The advantage of the laminates is customization. A custom stock builder can pretty much make anything you want. Whereas the composite manufacturers, do not seem to be able to mix and match (customize) as much. For instance, McMillan makes great composite stocks - I really like the A4 forearm and the A3 butt. But they can't make it. [/QUOTE]
