While I enjoy wood. Synthetics certainly have their place.
This R700 in .30-06 makes every hunting trip I go on as a backup at least. And often gets taken out if I get real serious about getting something.
Came as a gift from my grandpa, who took his biggest buck with it in 2000. Since it goes as a back up several other family members and friends have taken game with it as well.
I like all guns. Snap a picture next time you're out.
