No more Wood?

[David Emerson]

Life is too short to hunt with an ugly rifle.

Yeah, still some wood stocks out there that shoot great.

First I'd like to say that I have nothing against anyone's lifestyle, but I am straight. Second I'd like to say "nice wood!"

I just finished having these two built. I'm partial to wood myself.

View attachment 218269I'm a sucker for pretty Wood stocks too. Picked this up today at a price I couldn't pass up. Went to buy some crickets and left with a gun. Winchester model 70 featherweight 270.

Beautiful rifle! Now, get that laundry folded and put away. You've got a scope to mount!

I agree with gerrybaker1960. I picked my New rifle in Late spring of this year. I used a Boyd's Custom Gunstocks
"AT-One"

Wood is still good!!
Love my Coopers, they shoot as good as they look. A Jackson Game in 220 Swift and a 223AI next to it. My Custom Classic below I had built in 30-06

Gotta love some English walnut.

I certainly hope not..just something about a wood stock!!

 

[HANGum HIGH]

If I buy guns to be safe queens, I'll buy wood. If I buy it to hunt, I'm buying composite. Just wouldn't want to beat up a wood stock.

Love the looks, but not for me.

Full disclosure, wooden stocks are how I make my living, and with our aluminum chassis and full fitting there's no longer a need to shy away from wood to maintain accuracy potential or stability.

I love wood too but i am more careful with wood, so I only have wood-stocked shotguns. I don't want to have to worry about scratches hiking around in the woods or in a metal tree stand. Don't get me wrong, they can add character, but too many or on the wrong stock and they take away from it.

Some wood i don't really like. Browning's high gloss stocks are one. Looks too plasticy to me. But the matte stodk on an almost 40 yr old Browning BPS Upland Hunter in 20ga with a 22" barrel is maybe my favorite quail gun. I have a 16ga Citori Gran Lightning that has beautiful wood. But the Caesar Guerrini 20ga I have tops them all. It is beautiful. Pics below.

That's a beautiful shot gun, if you ever want to sale it I have a couple hundred dollars burning a hole in my pocket!

I need some contact info. I have a Browning Western Hunter 26 NOS that's screaming for some wood furniture.
