Only by stupid people with no foresight.
Absolutely.
I love classic rifles, have several really nice ones.
I do have some SS with synthetic, like them, too...
But, there's nothing like a well done classic with beautiful wood. A work of art.
As a certain famous English poet once said, "A thing of beauty is a joy forever".
And, so it is.

You bet DF, agreed to all that, just came down from the mountain hunting here at the house, I took one of my favorite rifles in the world, they're scorned and hated my many, a 1969 year model all Belgian Browning Grade II in 338 Win Mag, the pretty blonde stocks, sharp checkering and deep rich blue 'is' a thing of beauty to me, I grew up toting A-5 Browning shotguns as soon as I was big enough to safely carry one, I love the damn things.
As with the A-5's, you can hear and feel the BAR's working on firing, I respect the craftsmanship and engineering that went into those builds, others can flame all they want, it wont change a thing.
