Sigh... I hate to admit this, but I like the walnut. I think it looks cool and different without being gaudy, though it walks a pretty thin line there.
Of course, I also happen agree with Brian: There ain't no way I am spending $189.00 on that stock. Ever. For $189.00 I can buy half a case of .223, and in the long run I would much rather be able to shoot my AR than just look at it.
