it would seem like they would hurt the face in a heavy recoiling gun. kind of thin on the top. i bought an All Weather (boat paddle) 22 for my son that someone had replaced the stock with walnut. i liked the look of SS and walnut. then i found a zytel with the green inserts for a 22 to convert it back. apparently the green inserts are highly desirable. they made green, brown and black IIRC. anyway the stock is still in my pile because my son didn't like the looks. if anyone wants to trade a SA zytel for a 22 zytel with green inserts, let me know. i would convert one of my frontier scout rifles.
