I like the looks of the laminate stocks but both my TC Omega & Vortex CB I bought for the price/quality have the synthetic TH stocks so I have grown to like them. Both shoot extremely well for me. I sort of wish my Z5 had the RealTree cammo like the cb.

I like the looks of nice piece of maple or walnut over a piece of plastic. I do admit the laminates look nice but I wonder about their durability and glues coming unglued over time. A good piece of wood will last a lifetime and the character and patina of a hundred year old rifle has no other peers.

I am with you on that Ron, the glue should be less likely to fail than the wood itself. The changing grain directions in the layers of wood make a laminate stock strong and quite stable.

I prefer the looks of a laminate stock. Most synthetic stocks just look cheap to me, especially the camo ones. My omega has a laminate stock and when I bought my Endeavor the first thing I did was buy a laminate stock for it and sold the synthetic one. Laminate adds more weight but it doesn't bother me one bit.
