    Not mad about the laminate. Looks..... wrong on a shotgun.

    If to keep costs down they are doing a good marketing job when charging 500 more for it vs standard 525 :)

    it might look nice but from my experience laminate stocks crack and split more readily than a walnut stock with the correct grain structure.

    Suppose it’s different, but not for me my reservation would be how the Laminate will wear over time, it’s not like a traditional stock that will age naturally can be recheckered and re oiled.
