wood camo or black synthetic
 

OK when you buy a new gun rifle shotgun ml what ever

do you prefer wood black synthetic or camo stock which i would guest is a synthetic

o am getting a new shotgun i like the camo but might not be able to get on in my price range i don't like the wood stock look on the metal so might end up with the black synthetic what is your preface and why

I like the synthetic stocks best black or camo.

I also like a synthetic camo stock. We camo every other part of out gear to break up our sillhouette, so do it for the gun too. Also, I like the durability.

I prefer the look of wood myself. Of course it all depends on what it is. A double gun, be it an OU or a SxS should have nothing less than a good piece of wood on it. But for a meat gun, a black synthetic is hard to beat. If you use the gun long enough, a camo gun will eventually become either totally black, or first, almost totally white. Very faded and hand worn. Camo guns look worse with time, black sythetic guns look the same always, but perhaps magnify wear on the metal finish, and wood guns only look more and more classy with time.

Just depends on you really.

I like wood laminate. They add weight decreasing recoil, and are much tougher than your traditional wood stocks. They all have their place. I have some of each.

I like wood stocks on all my guns. I've shot some with the synthetic stocks and they shoot good but I like the look of wood.

i like either wood or wood stock with camo finish over it like my turkey gun, but Sythetic is nice i have a ML with sythetic but i like my wood guns much better.

I like wood, but will take black synthetic. I don't much care for camo rifles.

Laminate here as well. Looks awesome and functions well.

i do work on wood refinish build stuff so on i hate anything laminate because under the laminate is one of to things depending on how cheap the maker is

it will be either mdf or medium density fiber board or crap wood it is wood chips and saw dust and glue

and there laminate that is made with basically cardboard which is crap and what most cheapdesk and book ca9.loes is made of today

now aveneer stock is made with real hardwood that is cut paper then then glued to wood

I love wood stocks but lets face it, if you buy a wood stock it will get all beet up and chips. So my next preference is black synthetic.

You are thinking of a different type of laminate. You are thinking of a laminated counter top or cheaper furniture.

A laminated gun stock is pieces of wood that are glued together then cut and re shaped. It gives a distinctive look and is supposed hold up better to weather. Sort of in between regular wood and a synthetic stock.

Think of a butcher block, sort of the same concept. At any rate it is solid wood, not something applied over top of something else.

This is the inside of a laminated wood stock.



And this is a picture of some laminated stocks.
