Ruger 10/22: Wood or Synthetic stock?

[Xtracrispy]

Wood. If I was going to get a synthetic stock I'd rather have a Hogue than the factory synthetic.

For being out in the weather, synthetic. That's the rainy/snowy season.

For beauty, wood--without question. That's late spring, summer, and early fall.

Fortunately, "used" wood stocks are reasonably common, given that a lot of people customize their rifles. I picked mine up from a buddy for $10. Was in great condition, too.

...With a wood stock one may add an extended recoil pad. Really helps. They don't work on the plastic stock.

People use recoil pads on 22lr rifles?

I voted wood, because I like the look of real wood. I am not into the "Tacti-COOL" look. I know that in some instances the synthetic stock my have a purpose. I actually have that on my Mossberg 590.

Synthetic .... 5 pound rifle for backpacking ... For anything....
