Okay, I'll admit that I'm an old guy & I love wooden stocks. I know in many ways synthetic is superior. But they are not too "glamorous" even if they have a Corvette paint job!
So what wood & finish makes the most beautiful rifles? Curly or birdseye maple - perhaps with an amber stain? Circassian Walnut with lots of crotch & feather? Mesquite? Pistachio? What finishes - oil, epoxy, TrueOil?
To each his own, but most shooters can't help but ogle over a beautiful wood stock!
Any opinions from wood purests?
