Castle_Rock -
You're only looking at it from a practical standpoint - i.e., "good enough" for this or that use.
There's nothing wrong with that. I approach most things that way.
But don't knock me for being an accuracy enthusiast, especially with rimfires. That's what makes me smile these days.
I'm talking mechanical accuracy - I used to be a good shot but I never developed the skills to be competitive.
Bringing out the best in any rifle is challenging fun to do, and rewarding fun when your finished.
ps - I like nice walnut too, even though a birch stock works fine....
