I also have a chassis rifle for target and hunting.

Wood is great for appearance, but is heavy, absorbent, changes shape randomly according to environmental conditions, and is restricted by its grain in how it can be shaped. Laminated plywood addresses most of these drawbacks, but looks and feels like polymer anyway.

Laminated bamboo addresses all those drawbacks, including looking and feeling like timber.

I'm surprised people mention tikka polymer stocks as quality. They are purpose built to be lightweight. But feel as solid as an icecream container.

Nope. Is there supposed to be readable text in that picture?
A link to a website perhaps?
