Default Stock preference

What kind of stock does everyone prefer? I tend to prefer a walnut stock. I just like the feel of wood better. But I'm curious as to what other shooters like.

Hi Matt,
I'm with you regarding wood. I purchase a rifle 40% caliber I want and 60% the look of the wood. Has to be amazing wood or I'll walk away. With that being said I just picked up my first synthetic stock, something I said I would never do but.....wanted something to survive quading and not beat up a nice piece of wood.
just my 2 cents

Default stocks

Wood, or laminate. Laminate for their durability and wood for the traditional warm look and feel.

Any wood will do as long as it is walnut!
I have one laminate target rifle, the rest are all solid wood .

Gotta stay with wood, I have a few that I stripped and re-stained these guns are 40 years old and still look beautiful.
