I agree.

I still like wood better in the hands andon the bench(recoil). I findwood easier to bed and tweak(work with). Was a period wheresynthetic stocked rifles where my thing butI have beenmoving back to wood or laminates.

IMHO eye candy award will always go to wood andutility awardgoes to synthetic. Both have merits so it boils down to feel and function on a personal level.
