Last weekend I picked up a Remington Mohawk 600 in .308 at the Drayton Valley gun show.

It's a sweet little rifle and shoots darn good too however... It was wearing a black synthetic Ram-Line stock which broke on me..

I had it out at the range sighting in a Burris scope that I put on it and well after awhile as you all know the barrel heats up an your groups go south.So I leaned the rifle up against a chair with the action open so the wind could cool it down.
Well a gust of wind came up and the rifle fell over and hit the cement. You can see by the pic what happened..

This would not have happened to a wood stock.Anyway I ordered a pepper laminate stock from Boyds.
Taxes,shipping,dollar exchange ect and the bill came to $248,not cheap but it's a damn good looking stock. 

I'll post a pic when it gets here.

I wouldnt think that is normal.  Must have been a flaw in that stock.  Would remington replace the stock for you?

Hey Sonny:

I say this with tongue in cheek.

Maybe the guy used the gun to pound fence posts on his ranch, and/or as a canoe paddle.

Pepper Laminate.  Cool.  Ahem!!! Kinky...

 

Common problem with Ram line stocks. Curiously enough, it is the pressure of carrying with the sling that causes the breakage.

You may have a point there.Tomorrow I'll see if I can post a close up pic of the break..both sides that is..
