Hi all,
I've been thinking about restocking my do-all Ruger American Standard. It's still got the flimsy plastic stock it comes with, and I'm wanting to replace it with a Boyd's At-one stock. Only trouble is I'm not sure if the extra cash to get it pillar and glass bedded is worth getting on top of the new stock to begin with. The At-ones are about $185 to start, and the bedding is another $250 or so at the gunsmiths I've looked at. Does the bedding do THAT much to warrant the extra expense?
The ruger is my do all gun, so I don't shoot it much beyond hunting and checking zeros, etc. But I'd like the extra weight of the laminate stock to tame the .30-06 a little more.
Also: opinions on laminate stocks? I've heard they don't warp like normal wood, one of the biggest reasons I'm considering them. Any info you guys have is appreciated.
