Blessed be the wood stock.

My "go-to" hill country deer rifle in 6.8mm SPC

A made in Sweden Goya G-20 with solid spruce top and solid maple back and sides (keep an eye out for these at yard sales, worth more than later Japanese Goyas) and a 1901 M/96 Swedish Mauser. The Swede is my most accurate rifle and has worked well on hogs.

I missed the 7x57 on the first read through, some pretty wood on that one, love the 7x57 despite never owning one.

Ive got a safe full of plastic and synthetic stocked rifles and shotguns.. but most of my hunting firearms are wood stocked..

My Rem 721 in 300 H&H will be what I take to Idaho this year for elk and deer (3rd from right).. my 416 Taylor will be escorting me on a buffalo hunt in South Africa in a few weeks (far right).. and a mauser I built in 30-06 will be my primary TX whitetail rifle this year (4th from right).. .

Most rifles I hunt with are wood.
These three are the current projects. Laminate but still wood. All were turned and partly inletted by Lawson in Tucson.
RWB are 270-308 and 375 Weatherby. Made as a set.
Purple and yellow is a 30 BR set up for hunting. It’s almost done.

OK. Here is real wood.
Pecan with mesquite ascents. Piece of mesquite at butt is to save stock if dropped.
Where I hunt there is a lot of Pecan trees. Mesquite was cut in front of one of the blinds.
Remington 700 single shot. 250-3000 Savage.

I was going to ask if anyone had some nice Texas timber as a stock, looks like you answered my question.

Now that is something that will add tremendous character to a rifle.

I made practical rifles to hunt with.
Now I make pretty rifles to hunt with.
