I currently do not own a wood stocked rifle, except my Father's Remington 760 "deer rifle" which never leaves the safe. All of my rifle stocks are laminates, composites, or "plastic". The floppy plastic factory stocks get replaced, with composites, but a couple of factory/after market plastic stocks have passed the test.
I grew up with a J.C. Higgins 22RF rifle(re-branded Savage 87A), with a plastic stock, that was older than I was. So I was perverted at an early age. At the tender age of 13(1966), I bought my first shotgun, a NIB Remington 1100, and every ding that pretty walnut got, was a traumatic experience. My J.C. Higgins, could slide down a hill side, and I would clean it, and be GTG. My Remington 1100, would get a slight scuff, and I would go into mourning. That and I duck hunted my Remington 1100, in the rain, and cleaning and drying it, always found the stock and forearm swelled. So as I grew older, and started adding centerfire rifles to my arsenal, my early life experiences had me gravitating to something synthetic, or laminated, if I want pretty, too.
