It's funny you bring this up . I thought I liked wood and steel , in fact I do . How ever my collection does not promote that thought . I was at the range one day a couple years ago and had brought 6-ish rifles and a few hand guns . I was meeting some friends to shoot with and some did not have guns to shoot so I brought extras . Anyways this very subject came up and I proceeded to "claim" I love a nice wood finish on a rifle . So one of the others said so what do you have here today . When I turned to point out my guns I quickly realized I did not have one rifle with a wood stock with me . So then I got to thinking about it and came to another realization . At the time I only had one rifle with a wood stock period . Not going to say how many rifles I have but based on the total you'd think I'd have more then ONE .
Heck all the hand guns I brought were polymer as well . I don't think I'm purposely not buying wood but I sure don't have a lot . I think it's I just buy what I want with out thinking brand or style . I have many brands and usually a couple of them . Price and reliability seem to be my driving force when it come to firearms . My son asked me how much al my guns were worth . I told him not as much as you'd think . Very few are high end fanboy models . They're mostly just accurate and reliable . That's worth more then anything to me and I told him as much .
I only have one firearm that truly sucks and that's an old Jennings semi auto 22lr . Man what a piece a junk that thing is . It jams with just about anything you put in it on the first round . CCI stingers are one of the few that work OK at best .
So I'd like to think I like and appreciate wood and steel but looking at what I own you'd never think so .
