As humans, we of course have our preferences with just about anything. We have our preferred auto maker, preferred vehicle type, preferred music, preferred food, etc. Guns come as no exception to this. Some have broad preferences like wood & steel over polymer, some more specific preferences like action type... Many both.
I am going to make a generalization when I say this, but it seems like the older generation prefers wood & steel guns, while the younger generation prefers more modern polymer "tacticool" guns. Keep in mind I am using the terms younger and older generation loosely.
Well I am part of the younger generation (I'm 22), but I don't fit into my own generalization. I think I really do like just about any type of gun. I find just as much interest in a classic wood & steel gun as I do a modern dressed up tactical gun. I want to own a Krag-Jorgensen rifle just as much as I do an armalite AR30 with all of the tactical stuff.
I certainly do find beauty in a rifle with a nice wood stock like many of you do. My M1 Garand with its oiled walnut stock is easily the best piece of eye candy in my collection. I also think tactical looking rifles with polymer stocks are pleasing to look at however. Maybe not beautiful, just good looking to me in their own way.
Anyone else just like all guns?
