[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 489085, member: 11717"] I would not use a walnut stock for a LR hunting rifle because of it's susceptibility to environmental conditions. I was a hobby woodworker for quite a few years and I have seen what environmental conditions will do to wood. Possibly for varminting when you can choose good conditions. I am considering refinishing a S&W 1500 which has a very nice walnut Monte Carlo w/cheek pad and rebarreling it to 6mm-284 for varminting. My general hunting guns get good sturdy synthetic stocks.
