[QUOTE="Joel Russo, post: 917765, member: 6152"] I'm going with wood on this as well...but, my disclaimer is that wood is not for everyone. A properly finished wood or laminated wood stock will not exhibit any twisting or warping as long as the blank had the acceptable moisture content when it was cut, bedded and finished. If not properly finished, the blank will act like a sponge and absorb and expel moisture over time. Without getting into specifics regarding free water cells and the like, just know that the best laminated or hardwood blank is only as good as the finishing that was put on it.. Personally, I feel the wood stocks do a better job of dampening and controlling harmonic vibrations than the composite or aluminum pieces. Therefore making tuning easier. Wood has heart and soul, and each piece tells a different story. Whether it be composite or wood, in order to exude the accuracy potential of your barreled action, each must be properly fitted and bedded. [/QUOTE]
