RE: New rifle coming!
Ditto on the Rifle Basix.....nice triggers. All in all, I'd say good choice. I agree that a nice piece of pretty walnut is awesome, but the laminate has a tendency to be a little less weather sensitive. Just make sure it's well sealed up like you would for a walnut stock to keep water out.....barrel & receiver channels, mag box, recoil lug cut, etc.....
