what do you prefer?


Recommended Posts


both my rifles are synthetic. i find them far more practical, slightly lighter and considering i use them in the field i wouldnt want a wood stock which could easily scratch and de-value. i think that as an everyday rifle most people would generally agree that synthetic is more practical. however, if i could afford to have a beautifully made wooden stocked rifle that was used for the very occassional memorable stalk then i would. personal preference as ever

Synthetic here....

 

I like wood but synthetic stocks arent affected as much by conditions and are easier to look after and generally take more abuse.

 

Failing that Id go for a laminate wood stock as these again are more sturdy and hard wearing than normal beech or walnut.

 

At the end of the day though youl shoot better with a rifle that looks and feels right to you, so go with your gut feeling after picking up a few.

IMO I would go for the grade 5 wood and the glossy blued metal every time...... like you get on the top end Sauer rifles...

 

however as most of us are not made of money, I yould go for the wood/blued option or the synthetic/blued option just because they look better, plus with synthetic stocks you can take the action out of the stock, clean and oil it and put it back in, torquing the screws up the same as when you took it out and it will still hold it's zero

Latest interest is the CZ550 American in blued/kevlar stock config.....HERE
