Well . . . I love the looks of a beautiful, high-grade wooden stock on a bright blued rifle. However . . . there's a lot to be said about the matte black or camo synthetic stock on a matte black finished rifle . . . for there's little glare to catch light and be noticed by game! Stainless stell on a black synthetic stock is also a beautiful option . . . and one needing less care than the blued guns.
Plus . . . I HATE any extra weight that I have to tote and the synthetic stocks are usually lighter than the wood ones!
Additionally, the synthetic stock rifles usually don't require the owner to custom "glass bed" and "float" the barrel like is usually done to production wood-stocked rifles to improve accuracy.
