Hmmm... Maybe I'm an "old school" type of guy. I prefer wood stocks on rifles and shotguns. There is just something unique about them and their feel and handling. Also, a wood gun should not be kept as a "safe queen" - unless of course, it's a prized ancient, Winchester .30-30 from around 1935 or something like that. Every ding, mark, scratch, etc... on a wood stock rifle or shotgun has a story behind it.

Synthetic? Eh, no thanks...
