Hi Guys, Quick question,how is the quality of the remington laminated stock and how do they hold up in fowl weather? Do they move like regular walnut,and would I be better off just going with a synthetic stock? I have no experence with either and I going to buy one or the other.Thanks,Perry

  I use laminates on my rifles, I have never had a point of impact shift in cold or wet weather. They a thin strips of birch (usually) and they are glued together with an epoxy type adhesive, and after proper cure time, they are machined and inletted, If your afraid of the laminates coming apart, don't fly, we use similar adhesive to assemble aircraft parts. I believe the laminates are every bit as good as the synthetics, with the exception of the finish not being as resistant to scratches and scuffs.

  These stocks are laminated with epoxy. You will never in you lifetime see any epoxy breakdown unless exposed to certain chemicals. The stocks are also laminated under pressure. They will not seperate. The weather resistance comes from the pure strength of their laminated structure as well as being sealed with an epoxy. No moisture will get in. therefore, no shifting/swelling/shrinking.
