I switched out the factory synthetic stock on my Winchester Model 70 SS Classic with a Hogue Overmolded Stock. I couldn't be more pleased. The Hogue stock fit me perfectly (especially in the pistol grip) and really aides in a quick sight acquisition. I also like the qualities of the rubber, which makes it easy to hold in any type weather. I also put a Hogue on my 10/22 and like that one too. However, as someone else has mentioned, rifle stock qualities are very much subjective.
