I can see and appreciate the benefits of some of todays materials used in rifles. Being from the pre metric era, my preference is still nicely figured wood and bright blued steel.
+2 on that!! I had a $4000 ss/plastic rifle and traded it straight across for a $2000 field grade walnut blued steel Sauer 200. Happily.
Me too! I've owned some very nice ss/synthetic stocked rifles (ULA, Kimber, Barrett, MG Arms, Rifles Inc, HS Precision, full customs and more). But the rifles that stick have nice wood and blued steel.
