OK, I missed something. I don’t see any post disagreeing with you.

He "disliked" my recommendation of Aaron

Are you sure, my page shows that he liked it.

I have had Aaron Little of Mineola do an M70 for me and was pleased. He is now restocking a Model 70 on .375 H&H for me.

Wood looks nice but I hate it on a working, using, or hunting rifle. Wood is great for a showpiece though. If you’re wanting a showpiece I can’t help you.

The only stock maker I knew died and I’m kicking myself for not getting one of his pieces.

I hunt the hell out of my wood stocked rifles! From the deserts of Pima County Arizona for Couse Deer and Desert Mule Deer, to the Desert of of Maricopa County Arizona for Desert Mule Deer, to Sanora Mexico, to the Arizona Strip to the Kaibab, to the Paunsigaunt, to the Colorado Rockies, to Wyoming plains, to Kansas…
Not trying to be rude but I’ve never owned a synthetic stocked rifle that I used to hunt with other than a Ruger Mini-30 that I used for Javelina…
Most of my Winchesters still look great after years and years of hard hunting! My nephew took my 264 Super Grade and took his first deer, a 105” Couse, at 510yards in Catron County New Mexico!

I find wood to be a pain in the you know what.

Especially when going from hot and dry to wet and moist. They look nice but not worth the trouble they cause. There’s better just like some cartridges are better. I’ll take newer cartridges and technological improvements most times when it comes to firearms.

Do I like the look and feel of wood? Yes I do. If I get one of Patrick Holehan’s rifles I’ll have it in Bastogne Walnut but I’ll also have a McMillan stock for hunting.

I’ll take the classics all day long over the so called new tech improvements lol

To each their own.

It’s kind of like women. Some like a lady and some like them a little on the trashy side. Wyatt Earp used the most technological handguns of his time. Today he’d probably go to the OK Corral with a Glock. I like seeing the progression of firearms and the technological advancement.

There’s nothing wrong with the classics and if they work for you I’m happy for you. I just don’t find that they work so well for me. Mostly that’s because I’m a Klutz. Give me two hours of hunting and I’ll probably ding the stock. I’d much rather ding a “plastic” stock than a Bastogne Walnut. Also, the environmental factors don’t effect them like wood.

I have and use both. My long range rigs are state of the art technology. However, nothing can replace blued steel and walnut.
