I also like a synthetic camo stock. We camo every other part of out gear to break up our sillhouette, so do it for the gun too. Also, I like the durability.

I prefer the look of wood myself. Of course it all depends on what it is. A double gun, be it an OU or a SxS should have nothing less than a good piece of wood on it. But for a meat gun, a black synthetic is hard to beat. If you use the gun long enough, a camo gun will eventually become either totally black, or first, almost totally white. Very faded and hand worn. Camo guns look worse with time, black sythetic guns look the same always, but perhaps magnify wear on the metal finish, and wood guns only look more and more classy with time.

Just depends on you really.

I like wood laminate. They add weight decreasing recoil, and are much tougher than your traditional wood stocks. They all have their place. I have some of each.

I like wood stocks on all my guns. I've shot some with the synthetic stocks and they shoot good but I like the look of wood.

I like wood, but will take black synthetic. I don't much care for camo rifles.

Laminate here as well. Looks awesome and functions well.
