Ten Pointer
I deer hunt for sport and food, not for nostalgia, so all of my deer rifles in the past 20 or so years have synthetic stocks for the most part. Except for my Winchester 94 in 30-30 and my father in law's old 60's vintage Remington in .270 that is a real shooter all of my rifles now wear synthetic stocks- not necessarily for durability but for weight and consistency with POI in various weather conditions. I have owned and hunted with many very good looking wooden stocked rifles from various makers in numerous calibers but with a desire for consistent accuracy in conditions from sunny & 70 to crappy and 20 it is more frequent by design that a synthetic stock to deliver than a wooden stock to deliver.
Shotguns are a whole other story where my bird guns (sub gauge bird guns and not my duck gun) are very attractive with pretty wood, some engraving where applicable by make/model and nicely blued, case hardened or nickel furniture.
