Richly figured dark claro walnut combined with the stiffness and stability of carbon fiber!
Since the dawn of shoulder fired firearms the relative merits of the various materials we use to mount them in has been a very hot topic indeed. Rifles require a relatively long piece of material and the inletting must be very precise. Then there's the issue of swelling and warpage to contend with, much to our dismay this is especially prevalent in the most beautifully figured specimens. Then there's the issue of stability and stiffness, the stiffer the stock the better any given rifle has the potential to shoot.
So over the years various materials have been substituted for solid walnut primarily among those arms that may be called upon to perform in a variety of weather and altitude conditions. In other words, we want to be able to sight in at sea level in the summer months fully expecting it to be dead-on in the rain soaked Alaskan timber, in a Colorado blizzard and/or under dry desert-like conditions on the African plains (with an occasional downpour to be expected of course.) Fact of the matter is that fiberglass is the best material under any and all conditions, but let's face it, it ain' t the Belle of the ball looks-wise.
Enter laminated wood. By laminating several layers of material together, most of those ills have been negated. For example, Stocky's Classic deLuxe has the balance and warmth of real wood without many of the disadvantages. However, to the solid wood aficionado, the rich looks of a premium dark walnut stock is still lacking. Until now you had to choose one or the other.
Stocky is therefore very proud to introduce you to the new Ultra Walnut™! Although it has been oft claimed, these are genuinely the richness of hi-grade walnut with the accuracy and stability characteristics of a laminate, in fact it's the highest tech laminate out there. Sandwiched between 2 solid blocks of walnut are 2 layers of premium (I am tempted to use 'space-age fiberglass' but won't) carbon fiber multi-directional material, to create the stiffest and most stable walnut stock available today.
We've added solid African Mahogany accents at the tip and grip, plus down the middle for beauty, then do your choice of S&K's famous six-layer high-gloss or durable hand rubbed oil-like satin finish, a genuine Pachmayr Decelerator® recoil pad (arguably the best pad available) and a pair of quality swivel studs. Don't miss out!
Please note: These stocks are in extremely short supply so we must insist that all sales are final, no returns.
