LEDE Timbr Core Laminate

MDT has released its Timbr Core Laminate Rifle Stock, expanding the Timbr Core lineup with a modern laminate option for hunters seeking an upgrade from factory polymer stocks with a classic look and feel.

The Timbr Core Laminate is available at launch for the following inlets:

  • Ruger American Short Action (Right Hand)
  • Savage 110 Short Action (Right Hand)
  • Tikka T3/T3x Short Action (Right Hand)
  • Remington 700 Short Action (Right Hand)

Built for real-world hunting conditions, the Timbr Core Laminate combines ultra-rigid laminated wood construction with MDT's aluminum micro-chassis and V-block bedding system. This design ensures consistent action fit, repeatable torque values and improved zero retention across temperature and humidity changes, without the need for a traditional bedding job or gunsmithing.

Laminate stocks were developed to eliminate the warping and point-of-impact shifts common in solid wood stocks. By layering wood under pressure, laminate construction delivers increased strength and environmental stability. The Timbr Core Laminate advances this concept further by integrating a rigid aluminum bedding block, delivering modern precision in a classic stock profile.

Features:

  • Aluminum micro-chassis with V-block bedding for consistent accuracy
  • Ultra-rigid laminate construction to reduce flex and improve precision
  • Stress-free performance in extreme temperature and humidity conditions
  • Adjustable length of pull via included spacer system
  • Ergonomic 68-degree grip angle
  • Proof Sendero barrel channel profile supporting heavier contour barrels
  • Integrated rear and dual fore-end QD sling studs for bipod and sling use
  • Compatibility with AICS magazines through MDT bottom metal systems
  • Soft rubber recoil buttpad for improved recoil management
  • Two color options: Charcoal and Green Mountain Camo
