    Wood stock vs synthetic stock

    So I've decided on my next shotgun: the beretta A300 outlander. And I wanna go wood stock to keep it classy when shooting trap or upland game. But will the wood hold up the the brutal environment of duck and goose hunting?

    Do the wood man, as long as you treat it right you wont get it messed up when hunting. Nothing replaces wood stocks on a shotgun

      I doubt it will hold up, I mean, people didn't start hunting ducks and geese until synthetic stocked shotguns came out ya know?

      In all seriousness, some finishes do better with getting wet than others. Likewise, some finishes are easier to repair. It WILL get dinged and scratched, hand rubbed oil finishes are (IMO) the easiest to repair and keep good looking. Not all oil finishes turn water, and if the finish you have doesn't turn water the wood can swell if it gets soaked.

      Plastic stocks get dinged up and look like crap, wood stocks get dinged up and build character.
