Thread: Wooden versus Composite Stocks

YEP, cheap plastic stock are not very stiff and only a little side load, or sling or bi-pod pressure can have them putting a side load on to the barrel.
Would love a carbon stock but the price is a bit much for my level of usage and some of them can be bit noisy pushing through stuff.
I have gone with the laminated Boyd's option. Stiff, OK weight wise and reasonably weather proof. Only issue is they can get a bit slippery so add some checkering or grip rubber.
