meanwhile...half the people on this site are a fan of the B&C "Ti" stock, which is just a fancy name for Carbelite.

But they's expected to puke,due to Heritage and do...less "suplize".
I'd wager that the Faux Ti Mantra is an exersize in stretching a lightweight buck and billed in those accords,as opposed to being flaunted as being without peer.
Just sayin'...................(grin)

As I understand it, the McM Edge is made with graphite, which is alot stronger than fiberglass.
As far as the one piece aluminium bedding block stocks go, I understand that some of them, up to 40% of them using the older designs that Remington once used in their varmit rifles, develop accuracy problems under certain conditions. What happens is the much different materials used in such stocks have ezpansion ratios that are quite different. When such stocks get much warmer or much colder, they set up internal stresses that can do odd things to accuracy and the rifle's zero.
I hjave such a rifle. It, apparently, is one of the 60% not so affected. Or, perhaps not affected so far as I have used it. E

Eremicus, you forgot the most important attribute of the bedding block......it will stop your scopes from streching...

... but I have seen that all the benchrest rifles these days have gone to aluminum bedding blocks that are not skim bedded on top of it, and are all the rage and setting new range records, probably as we speak. Which BR rifles would those be? -Al

The T.I.C. sarcasm was/is copious and you might wanna reread objectively,in that mindset.............(grin)

Valid point. It is an easy, and quick way to get into a lightweight rig. I had a faux Ti, was a nice little gun. Sadly, I get bored easy, and buy and sell my [bleep] too often.

I did wake up at the crack of Dawn once....
BTW, don't think I've seen a tupperware crack either....guess it is "top shelf too" ?
Pretty lame on several accounts.
FWIW, I learned long time ago, during my trial by fire learning curve in investing, that if you see a CEO of a company in an internet chatroom, defending or bragging up his company, you best short the stock real soon, or just punt.......

99% it is not McMillan�s fault as letting the actions screws take recoil will split most any wood stock and the Edge fill is not as strong as the standard fill. This is why you cannot get an Edge without the pillars. Not McMillan�s fault if the custom bedding let the action screws take the recoil but they are a great company and might just cover it anyway. Good Luck Calvin.  Ryan are you listening?? If you are saying that the front action screw pounded the pillar backward and split the stock like a splitting wedge, I ask you what you think the tightly bedded recoil lug was doing while this was going on? If it was caused from the front pillar being driven back, why did the web between the mag well and trigger mortise crack as well? This was a simple failure from recoil when the magazine mortise bows outward under recoil and the filler, which has very low tensile strength splits.

Wow, You total grasp of gunsmithing is truly exceptional and I sir stand corrected. Well done.
