Just got off the phone with Larry from MRC. He claims that their X2 stock is not chopper gun construction, but rather a hand laid carbon fiber with kevlar reinforcing. Also has a kevlar reinforced foam core.
I'd wanna see one with my own eyes before calling them ugly, but from the pics I see, they look OK, at least. Really hard to tell much from the pics on their web page.
John, thanks for that info. That's good to hear.
I still think the stock is dang ugly, but undoubtedly it's one thing to look at it in a photo, and another to handle it.
The MRC rifle certainly has a heck of a lot going for it, and I agree with SAS, it really is the "new Model 70." I'll take something made in my own state with the best hunting trigger ever designed, over a Portuguese made non-model-70-model-70.
