One of the biggest complaints about bounds laminate stocks is they tend to split between the rear action screw and the magwell. Bounds have recently offered a pillar bedded option which makes sense and is a reactionary solution to the complaints.
I personally have pillaged and bedded two of their stocks for the cracking issue.
I would pay extra for the pillars if head going to buy another.
Both of my stocks turned out to be good shooting rifles.
They are thumbhole stocks. They are comfortable to shoot but the thumbhole makes operation of the Savage tang safety awkward. In a hunting situation the right hand/thumb must be removed completely from the thumbhole in order to operate the safety. Unnecessary movement could possibly ruin a what could be sucessful hunt.
