Does a wood gun shoot better than a synthetic one?

[QUOTE="Chawlston, post: 139106"] I have one of the first year stocks that Terry Leonard made. When we were at Rachael's Glenn in Alabama, he was explaning to me about the wood dampening the harmonics from shot to shot it made sense. When you shoot a fiberglass stocked gun that is a glue in you can detect a ring after the shot goes off. With the wooden stocks, the ring is not detectable to me. The same barrelled action shoots better with the Redwood Carbon fiber laminate. However, I don't know if it makes it more accurate or more consistent. I know it is more consistent from shot to shot during a match shootitng them into a grouping, but as far as accuracy where it would hit the target in the same place today, tomorrow and five days from now, I don't know if it will make a difference. In multiple shot strings I know it does. The fiberglass stock rifle I last tested using my six shots over five days at the same target indicated that the fiberglass stocks will drill them into the same hole at 400. Actually it was a 3/8" group with .308 bullets two shots the first day and then one shot per day for the next four days at the same target at the same time of the morning. It was an interesting test. Anyway, wooden stocks for benchrest is not a new fad. Wooden stocks have been around for a long time at Williamsport. What I am interested in is if the wooden stocks can shoot with a rail gun or stocked gun with a barrel block. I guess I will have to break out the rail gun (aluminum by the way) and test it.
