Hey what's up guys I'm new here. I'm looking to get into deer hunting and I'm trying to figure out which rifle to get, I'll be hunting in California, Utah and Texas. I'm not sure which model I should go with, I hear good and bad things about the synthetic stock compared to the wood stock. Local shops have told me that the walnut will expand due to change of altitude and humidity when hunting in other states and may damage the barrel. Is this true? I really like the classic look of the wood stock but I just don't know which way I should go. I would like to get it in a .270 caliber.
Thanks!
