For me it’s a “feel” and “familiarity” thing, as well as “looks” like was mentioned above.That makes sense. I was curious if there was a performance reason behind the choice. I'm just getting into hunting so trying to educate myself. Thanks for sharing the perspective.
I grew up shooting wood stocked rifles. When I switched some guns and built new guns with carbon stocks, it took some time to get used to the “feel” and the more “hollow” and “echo” sound they make when a bolt action is manipulated. It’s not to say it’s a “bad” thing at all, it’s just different.
Going back to a wood stock sort of feels like “home” again and while there can be “disadvantages” to a wood stock over carbon, to me it’s worth it for the feel/nostalgia/sound/look.
