Just the guy for this question:

I've owned a total of two laminated stock rifles and they BOTH failed in the same way.

One was a post-War Czech military Mauser w/ the big Winter triggerguard and the other a Ruger .223 Predator. On the both of them the stocks delammed under the action.

Now neither was a hard kicker but my experience w/ 2 widely variable rifles has me wondering...do laminated stock rifles REALLY hold up as well as solid wood, especially w/ the hard kickers like a .500? Cuz I'm now skeptical.
