Maybe a silly question, but does anyone hunt with wood anymore?
With synthetic this and stainless that being all the rage, am I the only one who hunts with a blue steel/wood gun? I bought two new Browning X-Bolt hunters in the last 4 months to replace a couple aging Remington's, and was chastised by a friend of mine who happens to be a more experienced hunter than me - telling me those nice stocks would be destroyed in the pine thickets and I shoulda gone synthetic! I don't care, I do not like synthetic, and I always tape up my stocks when I go out anyway.
So am I in the minority or do most still use "old school" blue steel/wood stocks in the woods?
