Boy PJ you nailed that one on the head. I see an awful lot of them for sale on the used racks for whatever reason. If you go to the accurate innovations website (riflestock people) they have a link to a company that builds a similiar product but their model is strong enough to shoot the ammo without the carbon reinforcement. Their prices seem more reasonable as well. Christiansen is a very well designed setup as well the owner is a retired Rocket Scientist so I can imagine he knows a thing or two about composites and exotic engineering. Wish I could budget enough money to try both.[:@]
