I like the idea of making the plastic look like wood but wouldn't it still have a plastic feel when handling? If I saw it across the room, I would think awesome... a wood stocked rifle but then immediately grimace when I felt that cheap synthetic feel.
That said, maybe a "better" synthetic stock would feel closer to wood. I didn't mean to make it sound like all plastic stocks are the same. I know there's a noticeable gap between a factory Savage Axis stock and an aftermarket Hogue or something like that.
I only have 1 rifle left in my safe with a plastic stock and it's my Vanguard 6.5-300 Wby. I do plan on changing it out one day...
