Maybe dumb question, but is "alpine contour inlet" synonymous with either the "Tikka Factory Sporter", or ”ACE #3/ BM #5/ BART #3B" rokstok barrel channel options?Here’s a sporter in an alpine contour inlet.

Hey @Formidilosus can i ask why you are so keen to have one made in wood? Is it just personal preference or is there properties of wood that benefit shooting? I would have assumed carbon would be more durable and consistent
I'm in no way Form, but for me:Hey @Formidilosus can i ask why you are so keen to have one made in wood? Is it just personal preference or is there properties of wood that benefit shooting? I would have assumed carbon would be more durable and consistent
Yep.High Modulus carbon fiber has only been around since 1964.
There's a lump of wood just turned up in Zambia, that was carved & worked by folks about 476,000 years ago.
I'm pretty sure it's still too early to tell in the durability race.

Buuuut ... if it came out in wood, I'd be personally skipping straight to that option.
Is the Molinator going to be a good rear bag for this stock? Or is there another rear bag that is going to come out designed more for this flat toed stock?

Thanks for the answer i thought vibration may be a reason i have made a few timber stocks (although poorly designed i have recently found out) as i have access to a 5x cnc. I havnt actually shot a proper carbon stock before but recently made one out of basic pine to keep it light and skim coated with fibre glass to harden the surfaceProperly done wood is durable, reliable, and handles weather just fine. On top of that, it helps noticeably with vibration during the shot, and feels much, much better in the hand.
And it looks better.
Ah heck ... how to parse that?Don’t fret.

Don't fret as in the carbon is high quality?
Or don't fret as in the wood will be an option shortly?
(All joking aside, the last is a serious question...)
I thought Form had said in general that he's wanting it to come out in wood, but maybe I need to re-listen to see if there were any clues about exactly how soon. Will do right now!Its almost ifin the answer to your questions were in the podcast..........

…as long as you are carrying a concrete block of the correct height for a front rest!

QD cups will already be installed on railed stocks front and rear L/S for right handed stocks. It is much easier to carry a rifle when QD cups are installed on the side of the stock opposite of the bolt side. Then the stock lays flat on your back.
