This video features Brownells Gun Tech™ Steve Ostrem discussing the age-old debate between wood and synthetic firearm stocks. He contrasts the early, clunky synthetic stocks with modern advancements, highlighting how improved polymers and aluminum cores have made them highly stable and durable. While acknowledging the aesthetic appeal and warmth of wood, especially in mild conditions, Ostrem emphasizes that synthetic stocks are superior in harsh, wet environments due to their resistance to swelling and warping. He also notes that modern synthetic stocks from brands like Magpul and Hogue are tougher and stronger than wood, making them a common choice for specialized varmint rifles.
