Carbon is considered one of the most innovative composites in the world. It is used wherever a low weight is needed in conjunction with high strength, for example in aviation or auto racing. The innovative carbon fibres have also been successfully used in hunting weapons for some time now. Many hunters prefer the low weight and the technical look and feel of a carbon stock. The surface finish and perfected shape of the carbon stock do not instantly reveal how much experience and artistry is required to make it. And yet the manufacturing process is highly elaborate: Each layer of fibre is placed in a certain position in a negative mould by hand, following a precisely calculated pattern, until the required number of layers has been reached. The stock is shaped under high temperatures and pressure. The connecting dimensions are then accurately milled. The combination of high-tech fibres and the manufacturing process, which is tailored to the end product, ensures the absolute premium quality of the carbon stock on the R8 Ultimate Carbon bolt action rifle.
