[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1463846, member: 25383"] now I like laminate stocks over just about anything, BUT! I have two or three rifles with some seriously pretty walnut (one is four or five colors). All are 30-06, and all are close to forty years old. The point of impact has not changed on any of them from day one. The only thing I can think of is that the walnut blank was very well aged on each one. I first thought about the wood grain, but one has the wood grain going all over the place, but all of them pretty flow from front to rear. My first laminate stock was on a Savage varmint rifle. That poor rifle went thru snow storm, sleet, rain, and even some mud. Yet never an issue. Too bad somebody can't find away to dip them and make them look like fine walnut! gary [/QUOTE]
