Mike,

If the stock is a laminate then the laminate must be made from a single piece of wood to keep the appearance of a normal stock?

Also have you used the Merlin stock configuration with the open sights yet and if so, is it comfortable to shoot when using the open sights?

Richard.

ps, .375's are one of my weaknesses, and when I see a nice .375, I act like a fat kid in a candy shop.
