Yep dont understand why you are not comparing it to McMillan carbon fiber stock. I bet a manners fiberglass stock without the bdl chassis has just as much flex. You really need to compare like products not one companies top tier product to anthers mid level.
How were you able to get it in bare carbon? I've been looking for it as an option and I don't see it available, my luck it's probably not offered anymore. I've worked with fiberglass and carbon fiber in the past and I have about 10 feet of some very cool carbon/kevlar hybrid weave material that's as stout as a snow tire with the right epoxy combo. I've just been trying to figure out how I'd be able to carve out a foam core and vacuum mold it myself but getting the overlap of the carbon to behave as well as look good will be pretty tough.
Kinda wish that this had been a bit better tested... I can accept the test between the two materials in the stocks, but that didn't really show how stiff or not stiff they were... why not make another video with a slightly more scientific method?
I think the Browning X-Bolt Pro carbon fiber stock may be the stiffest HUNTING rifle CF stock made. It is 360 degree wrapped CF on a compressed foam core and vacuum is applied to remove excess epoxy. I'd welcome a "bare stock" test between various CF Hunting rifle stocks. I say hunting stock B/C target stocks will be larger and inherently stiffer due to the increased size. We want to compare apples-to-apples in a test like this. In such a test a deflection gauge is the instrument of measurement. It can measure fore arm up/down deflection and side-to-side deflection.Also a longitudinal twisting (torque) test of the entire stock length may be of interest as well. Since carbon fiber stocks are made for utmost lightness we can also say that a measurement of "deflection v.s. weight" be applied. i.e. a lighter stock may have more deflection than a heavier stock and a ratio formula of weight-to-deflection should be listed. No? Eric B.

Good to know
Good to know what? He's comparing a fiberglass stock to a carbon fiber stock. Not a fair comparison whatsoever
@@JasonTabaszewski Information is always good for those who don't know it. Keep it positive, brother. We are here to help folks learn.
@VaMike9 you're not really helping folks learn though when you're not comparing like items

@@VaMike9 cool, just because you simp for him doesn't make it a fair comparison.
Carbon fiber has a larger barrel channel.
Take this video down, and stop embarrassing yourself !
