Which synthetic rifle stock for hunting rifle do you think is the best overall?
I enjoy collecting guns, swaping and staying up on all the newest models. I deer, quail, squirrel and rabbit hunt.

McMillan. I have 3, and they don't bend, twist, etc., when shot. Its all I can physically do to slightly bend one.

I'd follow this with Wayne York's Beavercreek Stock(s) (look up Oregunsmithing.com). I've used his, he makes them himself, guarantees them himself, lifetime warranty. I can bend them easier than McMillan, as he uses Kevlar and they are lighter weight.

I personally like blued steel rifles with walnut stocks but own one rifle with an H.S. Precision composite stock and would recommend highly.

I like walnut stocks with blued barrels. I own one composite stock on my WBY rifle with blued barrel. I don't have anything against the S.S. barrels or composite stocks except S.S. is alot easyer to see.

McMillan
I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?"
Well, to tell the truth I shoot a Springfield XD so it doesnt really matter.

I've been happy with the 3 Bell and Carlson synthetics I've purchased.
Hunting and fishing are not matters of life or death. They are much more important than that.

Brown,Borden's (rimrock) and McMillian are three that I like.  Brown will make just about any weight stock you want but cost lot more.  For my varmit rifles I like H&S.

I own 1 Brown Kevlar Pounder on a Model 7 Rem.-13 yrs.old, 1 Brown Fiberglass on a Model 700 Rem.-12 yrs. old,  and 1 McMillan Kevlar?/Glass? on a Custom Model 98 Mauser - 8 Yrs. old. In My opinion, The Brown Kevlar Pounder is By far the Better. On the Bench - I am able to bend the McM - with little pressure, Not so with the Browns. Just My Opinion
