Thoughts and experience?

For Fopen rifle. X ring stock

Why not the whole stock? Manners' F-Class is but obtaining one is akin to winning the lottery.

Like you said. Hard to get one

It wont hurt. But it probably wont help either. Carbon fiber is extremely stiff. Generally as you stiffen up a rifle the nodes will get smaller, and the rifle will be harder to keep in tune. Carbon fiber is not a material I would want in a competition rifle.

Scoville and Manners CF stocks work quite well. I have two Manners F-Class stocks and the long, stiff forends provide a balance and handling advantage. Neither one has any problem whatsoever holding tune. Both have won a few matches.

As with any product and material; proper design and material use is critical.

I agree. I use a lot of cf Manners hunting stocks. And the Scovilles work very well in short range br. However my experience with different stocks, some that I have built to test this is where I base my opinion. I will take a little more flexible forend on my long range rifles than a very stiff one.
