That is a good way to get figured wood on the stock faces and get stability in the stock.
Interesting that they are calling their laminated stocks 'solid' wood. The meaning of solid wood normally doesn't include reconstituted or laminated material. But times change things. The laminates are more solid than ground up and pressed sawdust at least. 

In the 60's, efforts to sell such laminated gun stocks didn't fly (marketing probably failed) but military match shooting teams were a good market for them. Their matches moved from arid to wet sites and a stock that remained stable was a pretty valuable possession. Usually the interior laminate was a solid, straight-grained piece of wood, with the figured blanks laminated to it. Similar to that shown on the aforementioned site.

Some beautiful gun stocks shown on that site. Thanks.

I'm also drueling over a Pre-64 Winchester Mod 70 in 30-06, but it may break my piggy bank.  Nice wood.  I fall for the wood..  :D

JP get you a Mod 700 Remington and be happy. I built a 22 Cheetah on a Model 70 frame back in 1982.   On some Mod 70's there is a cap in the back of the bolt. If there is a primer failure, the cap gets in the eye. Not something I heard, Been there.
