Wood laminate is still wood :) Although, if made correctly, the resin is forced into the wood grain under high pressure.

And, yes, one side benefit from it is the weight.

Bingo! What is very easy to see in open configuration long range, ELR and timed shooting at various distances (forgive me, I don’t know what those competitions are called, I just know of them), where there are are no limits in rules, using magazines etc., the Chassis are the favorite. And while Laminate is a wood product. However, for someone to claim it’s the same as Hardwood, is simply disingenuous.(not saying you were Charlie) That was my contention from the beginning. I don’t believe the OP was looking to get a Manners, a Cerus or a McMillan. No, I believe a bit more “Sporter-y” style was in order. That’s all I was asking him about. But, enough debating that for me.
