sabotloader,
I tend to agree about plastic. With the heavy recoil I anticipate, I will no doubt strengthen the stock where it supports recoil. I personally think that the Kodiak would have been better designed without the litte U-shaped structures between the recoil supports. If they weren't there,they wouldn't crack.They are kindof likean appendix, i think. You don't need them andto make matter worse, they cango bad.
I have to admit, I hope MO Archer gets a laminate stock, I want one too.

They are very pretty I think. And no, I don't want the thumbhole stock, i like the other one better.
