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.

I have both, but my favorite rifles are wood stocked. Synthetics have no soul and leave me feeling cold.

A few lever guns with wood, many shotguns, a muzzleloader, a few Ruger 10/22's with laminates,.....the only bolt gun with wood is a Crickett youth rimfire, and I'm a bolt gun junkie.
I guess I'm cold and soulless.

I'm going back to walnut. It's about 50/50 now. Took this one on a moose hunt last year.

Do you still have a wood stock in your collection?
Maybe a better title would have been . . .
How many plastic rifles in your toolbox?
A bunch of plastic stocked rifles could hardly be called a collection.

I have about 50/50 wood and synthetic mix at the moment. I don’t discriminate 😁
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

I have both, but my favorite rifles are wood stocked. 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. Jerry

I would have to check but something tells me I have more wood than synthetic.

With the last 2 rifles I bought I got wood.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?
