In terms of classic, traditional firearms beauty--wood stocks are the best, no doubt about it. My guns are all intended to be working woods guns, so another advantage of plasti-stocks for me is that I never worry about scratching and bashing the finish. I'm not saying plasti-stocks are in any way better, just they do have their place. One day the mass-producers will get it right and come up with one that doesn't flex in the critical areas and provide a full rigid pillar bed--the Hogue stocks are getting closer and closer all time--at a price that still keeps the cost way down. I see the plasti-stock rifle market as one of the primary market forces in driving costs down and quality up in the bolt-action rifle market.
