I realize a plastic stock is more functional for waterfowl hunting. I just picked up a walnut browing silver hunter, been on one hunt so far w/ no problems, gun feels and shoots great, gloss blued barrel and silver receiver didnt seem to spook ducks any. I did kinda feel like I had to baby it alot more than my old stoeger 2000.

How many people hunt waterfowl with a wood stock gun? Ever had a problem with the wood swelling?
