[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1330743, member: 10291"] I am far more strongly attracted to walnut stocked rifles over synthetic stocked rifles. From an appearance standpoint to my eyes, the best of my synthetic stocked rifles looks like an abomination next to any of my walnut stocked and blued rifles. Unfortunately, these rifles have spent most of the last decade or two as safe queens. The appeal of shooting or hunting with a rifle that could be also looked upon as an object of beauty has been replaced with the appeal for high proficiency and consistency that is necessary for the high precision, long range shooting/hunting/competition that dominates my use of rifles. IMO, while the performance might be able to be achieved with a walnut stocked rifle, the beauty gets lost with the heavy barrels, large scopes, bipods, and other accessories that are desired for long range shooting. Fortunately, I have satisfied the need for the beauty of nice walnut. My shotguns are all nicely walnut stocked with blued metal. [/QUOTE]
