[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1324074, member: 2736"] A wood stock can never be as stable as a Laminate because the grain all runs in one direction and is susceptible to warping as the humidity changes. The best you can do Is to do a complete Pillar bedding and float the barrel. This will have the best chance of minimizing the warping effect. I have tried many ways of stiffening wood stocks and none eliminated the change caused by weather or moisture. It helped some but did not eliminate the problem. The laminates are laminated with many different grain directions and the use of resins throughout the stock thickness makes these stocks very stable (And also a little heavier). I love the fine wood stocks and have a few, but these have been pillar bedded and floated to get there maximum accuracy but over time they are subject to change the POI and need to be sited in before hunting season.
