Synthetic or wood stock what do you like better .

Plastic is ugly.  Wood, especially laminated, is not.

I've seen the inside of your gun safe. You have very good taste in rifles my friend.

Of the 30 or so rifles in my safes, at least 20 are wood.  Fell like a klutz on a rough rocky incline once, banged up a very nice wood stock.  Grrr.  Synthetic for me for hunting now.

I prefer wood but it breaks my heart to see nicks and scratches on a nice finish. I  would like to have synthetic for hunting and have the wood for just shooting and showing.

Wood only in my gun cabinet.   Shot alot of sythetic stocked guns just not a fan of the way they look.

I have an  H&R Handi-rifle with a Tupperware stock and a Leupold scope...The scope is worth more than the rifle, LOL !

I have  a Rem 11-87 with a synthethic camo stock... All of my other long guns are wood and blued metal..

The only stainless guns I own are handguns..

There are all levels of wood and non-wood stocks.  I love highly figured walnut stocks that are well checkered, fitted and finished.  I despise cheap birch stocks that look like canoe paddles.

Synthetic stocks that are cheap and hollow look like crap, feel cold and make a lot of noise.  Kevlar/composite stocks like the one's on a Kimber Montana are super strong, light, solid, quiet, warm and weatherproof.  Filled carbon fiber stocks like the one on a Browning X-Bolt are also good.

If you go high end on wood or synthetic, you get a stock that will please you.  Go cheap and you will have a stock that gets the job done, but nothing more.

The stock and case hardening are definitely an improvement...

I always thought the FN-Fal  type, like the British L1A1  were pretty cool....That and the M-14/M1A  are about as "modern" as my taste runs..

If youre on Instagram check out mr_winsauer. He does beautiful work. He even put some gorgeous stocks on Red Rider BB guns lol
