ejg223 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 A few years ago I met Mikka at the IWA and we discussed carbon fibre stocks. Last year I had a look at the Sako Carbon stock and thought it is very well made. They also had a stock without rifle to look inside. They certainly have a better method than conventional composite stocks but I think there are better ways of making a composite stock achieving more stiffness at less weight. Price is also a factor. edi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think the 85 in a PSE Composites Etac 3 would be stunning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
