I mostly use one of two rifles, both stainless M77’s with Zytel stocks. I don’t care that they are ugly, they are strong, stiff and tough. I throw away the tire tread for a recoil pad and put a good one on it. No big deal.
Mine are 30-06 and 338 WM. Love them both. They’ve been used hard and held up. Looking for another Zytel stock. Short action and long action.
