I am "Crossing Over", a bit....

If the creator had intended for shotguns to have synthetic stocks, he would have made man smarter sooner.

I have both synthetic and wooden stocks. Don't get me wrong, NOTHING comes close to a nice wooden stock with all the pattern in it. I have a couple nice ones on my target guns. Problem is that the nice ones cost a pretty penny. Also, don't get me wrong, NOTHING hurts more than putting a nice scratch in one of those beautiful stocks.

Hence, I only use synthetic stocked guns for the treestand, blind, and boat. Hunting upland, I sway between synthetic and wood. On the clays course, I only use wood.

Technology is getting better, and while it might not look beautiful, it does function just fine.
