Marl 4 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 As above, had one myself on a Winchester and thought it was excellent. Quote Link to post
njc110381 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Given the choice I will have a laminate stock every time. They're much more stable than standard wood and look much better than synthetic. The best of both worlds IMO Quote Link to post

danebrewer10 6 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm not too bothered either way, laminate stocks do look good and feel better than some of the synthetic stocks, but stocks from manufacturers like McMillan, H-S Precision B&C, etc are IMO a better choice as they would probably be lighter, and just as strong...

Urban Fox Control London 8 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) I use a .22lr Ruger 10/22 black synthetic stock. It is lightweight even with scope, bipod and moderator fitted, feels good and comfortable and handles very well in the field. I would definantely get another if I had to replace my current. Apparently, they are flying of the shelves in America as Obama is planning on changing the firearms laws for the US? Edited January 15, 2010 by Urban Fox Control London Quote Link to post
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Tarts the rifle up a bit, real comfortable for prone shots, bit different I guess. Quote Link to post

clivej 0 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 This is what I now have, got the license for it last November. Sako 75 varmint (laminated) in 308, it should have had the laminated stock but came with the synthetic stock as shown. But this is what I bought off e bay for the Sako 75 308 a laminated stock. I'm going to get it pillar bedded first before putting it on the rifle. Quote Link to post

waidmann 105 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 my first synthetic stock was bought last year( always had wood) its a cz style in 22lr. i love it and would definately choose another over wood. i like the traditional look of wood but plastic/laminate are far more practical. as is the stainless steel opposed to blued.

mattydski 560 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Been looking at stocks off here for a while... Had a few chats with the proprietor, Paul, Seems like a knowledgeable chap www.laminategunstocks.co.uk/ They just look and feel fantastic, plus they perform consistently which is important.

Nobody under 3 will be allowed a gun! 2. Between the age of 3-9 gun ownership will be voluntary. 3. Between age 9-15 a minimum of one gun is mandatory 4. 15 Upwards, one pistol and one rifle compulsory, if you cannot afford it they will be available free by collecting tokens from breakfast cereal packs! 5. Wall-mart will give you a free box of ammo for every $50 you spend on your groceries! 6. All small calibres will be banned, and only .32 upwards allowed 7. Compulsory target practice for everyone once a month! 8. Fines will be imposed on anyone found NOT to be carrying a concealed weapon! He is getting concerned about the growing Knife culture and wants to bring it down! Of course there are problems getting the legislation passed, many think he has not gone far enough!!
