    I understand they are functional but,

    Pretty is for women’s stuff. [emoji12][emoji1787][emoji23]Give me functional and durable all day long. Being a long time duck hunter engrained it in me. From duck/goose hunting to turkey hunting, wood can sit in the safe and has for me except my o/u dove gun for years. If the Browning 725 20 came in synthetic, I’d own it in synthetic. I had a beautiful wood Weatherby MarkV Deluxe in 270 WBY I killed my biggest deer with. That sucker sat in a safe forever after I got an original Sendero in 270. Needless to say it’s no longer with me. It was just too pretty to get out and bang around. I just prefer the look, the durability and the functionality of synthetic day in and day out. And I have no qualms with the cheap Savage Axis sticks either. They get the job done.

    Life is too short to have pretty guns staying in the safe.... #nosniper

              I’ll stick with my pair of Model 70 featherweights, .270 and 300WM.

                Neither on the lever gun. I’d take the Ruger #1 synthetic all day everyday even though I’d rather have a bolt gun truth be told. [emoji1303]

                  I like suppressed guns but I don’t like the overly tacticool lever guns so probably neither of those.

                  This one is a happy medium to me.

                    I have always viewed firearms as an investment not a tool. That is just the way I was taught, poor folks have poor ways at times. Most of the family on my dad's side were into firearms, they was poor hix but owned some mighty fine Winchesters and Colts. My great uncle had one of the largest Merwin and Hulbert revolver collections ever back in the early 70's. Some of the guns they owned and traded were amazing to a young kid like me, they would have trade days on Saturdays and there would be 20 or 30 guys there. Guns was worth more than money in the bank to them folks. I remember my grandpa owned two engraved Winchester Model 1897 Black Diamond trap shotguns, he told me they was worth more than the car he drove.

                    I treat all my guns the same, wood or composite. I wipe them down and try to take as good of care as I can with them, even my AR's as well. I have shooting match rifles that are built from the finest parts I can afford and them is probably the closest firearm to a tool for me, but I am still careful with them. I understand the utilitarian thought process with hunting guns or truck guns, I just dont practice it Lol.

                        So OP, where do you stand on the crappy birch or pine or fir or whatever wood a lot of cheaper guns are coming with these days? Especially when they have some terrible pressed checkering.

                        (Think $329 Marlin 30-30 at academy)

                          Other than my AR's, I don't have any guns younger than 40 so I really wouldn't know. My kids have 10/22's with boyd laminates that look okay. I have a 375 h&h with a laminate and green ceracote barrel that's ugly as sin.

                            Do you guys think no one hunted in the rain, sleet, or snow before plastic rifles became popular?
