N/A Aesthetics

I prefer traditional wood stocks of simple, functional design with good character in the grain and, maybe, a bit of tastefully done checkering or stippling.

But I do get carried away sometimes.

This is a Yew and Maple stock I made for my AR20 from scraps leftover from other projects. Custom fitted, form follows function closely and no "adjustable bits" are required...



Cheers!

I prefer synthetic stocks for my PBs and stainless steel though I have plenty of blued and walnut guns. Synthetic is lighter, tougher, more practical for hard use and the POI does not change with the weather or time.

Yep, DS Huntsman Regals are pretty - chrome bolt looks great against figured walnut. They are very accurate rifles too.

I'm in on the Huntsman Regals...This one is in .20 caliber.

Only two things I could be considered jealous or envious of in my world.

One is a view when looking out from your homes deck or porch.
The second is artistic or musical talent …….

What is your preference as far as looks are concerned for your rifles? In my opinion the Air Arms S510 in walnut is one of the most beautiful guns out there..zebra wood with gorgeous bluing.

I want my rifles in a nice wood stock. Laminated, figured walnut, something. Beech or synthetic is fine if it’s a field gun.

I don’t love the look of most target / match rifles but I tolerate them because style does not win competitions.

This tacticool stuff could not less interesting to me. Same with bullpups. Compact is nice but I don’t want a magazine in my armpit.

Thats got some of the prettiest wood Ive seen on a Daystate.

I am quite fond of coloured laminate and like to fettle my guns both inside and out.

I can really appreciate and enjoy looking at a nice walnut or laminate stock but that's about it. I'd never be able to use it. I do like a good tactical looking gun though and I use them. Find some bullpups look real slick also.
