Cheap flimsy stocks. - 09/10/15
Good day,
About a month ago I hunted Wildebeest with a Ruger American in 30-06 and was pretty successful. 3 Wildebeest 3 bullets no issues whatsoever.
The reason I share this with you is I personally do not like the injection molded stocks as they do feel cheap and 'flimsy', but the thing is, the moment you pick up that rifle to make the shot you do not stand there and think: well, this is a very nice stock and it just feels like quality material were used to manufacture it
We simply pick the rifle up get on target and fire the shot. There is no way that we think about the flimsy plastic at that time. We do not buy these rifles to think of how nice they are, we buy them to use them for hunting and they do that pretty well.
As long as the stock shape fits us fairly well you will not notice what you are holding when it really matters.
