IMO---Laminate is heavier than both wood and synthetic. It is not as durable as synthetics, and not as pretty as wood. It is the best of NEITHER world.

As for stainless, why doesn't Marlin at least bead blast it? Not that I would prefer it then either, but toting around shiny things while hunting makes no sense to me on any level. Again, JMO.

Just another attempt to sell guns by trying to turn something into someting isn't. Leverevolution ammo is a joke, and so are the guns for which it is contrived.

At least you can convey your opinion without insulting someone's family. Guns are just guns. People are people.

The only thing more lacking than Johnny's knowledge of firearms, is his lack of class. Not only are his comments in poor taste, so are his preference of firearms..........
