I understand they are functional but,

So do you shoot a compound, or traditional equipment?

Stick 1 for the win

Not all synthetic stocks are ugly, much like not all wood stocks are good looking.

So the majority on here do not like shotguns with wood stocks? I have never seen an over and under or side by side that I would own with synthetic stocks.

I also prefer wood grips on my revolvers, a Smith and Wesson N frame or Colt Python with composite grips just does not represent the workmanship put into one.

Lever action rifles with synthetic stocks does not look good to me. Most Browning shotguns, lever guns and semiauto rifles need a wood stock, as most are really built nice and wood compliments them. Ruger Number 1 in composite aint real appeasing to my eyes either.

I have guns I use, some are composite and stainless, some are wood and blued. I have a 243 Weatherby Vanguard with walnut wood and blue that I have beat all to heck, it aint a purty gun but its a nice rifle to use.

Top one is awful. Awful I say!

[trophy8]

I prefer synthetic.

I love a fancy wood stock. But I’d have to baby ones that I consider “nice”.

I think most factory synthetic offerings are junk though.

Someone's gotta do it... nothing against synthetics, but the best looking rifles of all time are the classics. And they shoot accurately plenty far this guy.

Awfully beautiful.

All my rifles but 1 have Wood stocks. Matte blued, stainless, and gloss blued. All of them to me are pretty and get used all the time as they are like a tool, but I take care of them. Not a fan of the new synthetic cerakote matte craze, just adds to the trend that everyone thinks they’re a sniper.

Makes me think I can hunt anywhere, anytime. Rain, snow, mud. No roof, no heater, no cell phone.

I love beautiful wood stocks. But hate to take one hunting. I am always worried, I will damage the stock. That's where I love a good synthetic stock. I don't worry about damaging those. A good synthetic, is my preferred choice for a hunting rifle, that will be beat around, or carried while hiking hills or mountains, or slopping through the mud, or any time I might slip and fall.

But I definitely don't want nothing but synthetic stocked hunting rifles. I do really love beautiful grained wood stocks.

Things I learned on TBH chapter 1678: if you like synthetic stocks, you think you’re a sniper.

I ain't gonna go that high with my percentage, but I will say that unless a wood stock has some gorgeous grain running throughout the stock, they leave me with a "meh" feeling. That said, the "cheap" black synthetics are even more meh without some webbing/painting done to them

98 is a bit high, but 98% of the wood that I can afford is pretty accurate. I do occasionally find a wood stock I think is gorgeous, but the large majority of the time it’s out of my price range. And I don’t buy cheap synthetic stocks lol

[okrattler]

I like both. But as was mentioned I like a synthetic stock for huntin. I still do hunt with rifles with a wood stock occasionally but not much. I'm extra careful with them when I do because I can be kinda rough on equipment without even trying to be. I try to take good care of the things I have so it bugs me when I get a scratch or a dent in the wood. I'd rather have something that's a little more durable and scratches are less noticeable on. Plus I guess if it gets to lookin too bad I could always paint it up and hide it. I don't want to do that to a wood stock. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a nice wood stock.
