For an all around utilitarian build, there are times when a laminated stocks looks better than a synthetic stock. I don't recollect you mentioning caliber. If you go with .308 the extra heft could be beneficial. Builds like this could bring new life to old 99s. You know, those old grey rats that have been drilled and tapped and sporting add-on kick pads.
