Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Do you still have a wood stock in your collection?

Since I saw the plastic looking stock on a Nylon 66 I been sick at my stomach....later I saw one on a high powered rifle....I thought I'd never own any crap like that.
Then a guy traded me a 3 lug Sako 7mag in a Browns Precision Kevlar stock.....I couldn't stand to look at her but she was a killing machine.

After Benneli got the SBE problems hashed out about 2000 I started looking at one for turkey hunting....in 2000 they only offered a left hand SBE in camo or black I went with the camo make up....boy she was ugly as sin but also a killing machine.

The Sako finally left town the old SBE and her sister are still killing machines....I had the camo make up blasted off and had both guns Cerakoted and replaced the camo plastic stocks with wood.

People hunted in every weather condition prior to composite stocks.....a properly prepared wood stock can safely survive most any weather condition.

Wood won't melt if left too close to a fire.

All of 'em....

You mean like this ?



50 years ago I bought THIS 66 at KMart right after our Wedding. Price was @ 65.00 or so.
My wife was maybe 95 lbs so I thot I'd try this because of its light weight and handling.

Almost a mistake - She is TOO GOOD with it.
Also my youngest Son tried to steal it. LOL.

I've never had a single problem - I know that some did -. Load - Aim - Shoot.

At one time I could knock 22 LR empty hulls off a fence post at 20-25 yds. It has KILT more than enuff squirrels to pay for itself.

Several (don't tell the wife). And I recently traded in to a Sako L691 simply because I liked the look of it's wood stock. Haven't even shot it yet. It is actually the first '06 I've ever owned.

Wood stocks include Grandpa's Savage Fox SxS and a CZ 452. Oh, and my first center fire: a H&R break action .410.

Good times!

I answered earlier in this thread but this is more specific.

I have plenty Wood stocks.

I have 1 composite MZL, Knight Wolverine SS 54 Cal.
I have 1 composite Tikka T 3X Lite SS 7 RM
I have 1 composite Tikka T 3 Lite SS 270 Win
I have 1 composite Win 70 Black Shadow 300 WM

That's actually more than I thot.

ALL others are WOOD
