Agree on asthetics, plastic just not that pretty.

I guess you gotta look at a rifle like you would a tool to appreciate ugly.

I like a beautiful piece of lumber on a find classic action like the next guy.

I just hate to scratch up a fancy gun, feel more comfortable with an ugly gun.

Here's my custom FN 98 Swede/Shilen in a McWoody. To me this is trying to look pretty and still go synthetic
