OP Mach3 Campfire Regular M Joined: Jan 2020 Posts: 902	Just curious what other fellow hunters might have? Have most people gone to synthetics? What I have: Remington 760 GameMaster 243win wood Remington 7600 30.06 synthetic Tikka T3X Lite .270win synthetic Benelli Lupo 300wm I hunt in any and every weather condition. Biggest buck ever shot was in a steady rain. Aside from the beauty of a wood stock, synthetic stocks with weather proof barrels are my preference.

Synthetics have no soul and leave me feeling cold. NONE, NADA, NO TOOLS are alive so NO guns/rifles/handguns have ‘soul’ !! As best I can remember I have 3 SYNTHETIC stocked rifles. ALL the others are Walnut and they have no soul. ALL rifles respond to pressure commands NOT whispers, caresses, or voice commands. All are INanimate objects. When the chips are DOWN...synthetic will not let you down. WOOD can and DOES expand and or retract W/O your command. I hunt both kinds frequently and I PREFER reliability. I NEVER wonder if synthetic stocks have warped or swollen due to WX conditions. « Soul » does not exist in inanimate objects.

Sure looks like your rifle has soul (beauty, panache, style) to me. But weren't you worried that a shift in zero would cost you your moose? (sarcasm) FÜCK Jeff_O! MAGA
