Do they make Hawkens with composite?I prefer a wood stocked rifle.
I understand that a wood stocked rifle requires a bit more upkeep and such...but I know how to do that...
And the nicks , dings and the like of a well used and well loved hunting rifle , do not bother me.
Abuse and neglect is another story.
As far as how a stock "feels'...well that is very individual...one rifle with its weight and balance , will be quite different in how it feels from one person to another.
Synthetic stocks , just like wood stocks are not equal and of the same quality.
They all vary in just how "good" they are.
It pays in the end to get what you like and what works for you...regardless of what someone else likes.
