LOL I agree with you. More info please. Jerry That front ring with the MAUSER logo is very nice, and this coming from a guy that shuns logos. No scopes on that one. Paul

I built (3) rifles for 2020 (1) was wood and (2) were synthetic. In 2019 I used a carbon fiber stock.

If you prefer a classy analog car/truck that has character, soul, and challenges you to actually interact with the mechanism vs. a coldly efficient computer-managed machine that simply requires you to steer it to your destination, then a wood stocked rifle is for you. Otherwise, load the synthetic devices into an Asian/American SUV/pickup, join the multitudes of conformists, and pursue the American Dream of marching in lockstep toward some featureless efficient future.
