Travis, this is just my opinion and not necessarily the ultimate truth (but really, really close) but heavy guns turned me off as a yout (yes, intentional), and black, plastic guns do as an adult. If a Seal or Ranger, ok.
I like real timber on my shotguns and there are products to protect them even in the very unfriendly climes of Havre, Mt. It's always nice to look down on a sublime piece of planking as opposed to the harsh, cold emptiness of....plastic.
