ok..Tikka t3 or Tikka hunter

Is it a fact that synthetic is better than wood or one gun is better than another? 

Wood feels better than quality synthetic? Opinion (mine is NO)
Wood looks better than synthetic? Opinion (mine is NO... i prefer my personal camo)
A quality synthetic stock is less prone to warping than wood? FACT
A quality synthetic stock is stronger than wood? FACT
A quality synthetic stock handles abuse better than wood? FACT

Seems to me... the only part that's opinion... is arbitrary at best. The fact is... synthetics are better, particularly in a climate like WA.

Now... quit being a dick and raining on the guy's parade, he's stoked about his upcoming purchase... we should be stoked with him. The only thing that matters... is what matters to the shooter. I'd never buy a Tikka... because I don't like plastic stuff in my action, stock, and magazine. The seperate recoil lug also bothers me because it makes bedding a chore. BUT... I've shot a couple, and they all shot like a champ... in fact, I've only shot one with a wood stock... and it wasn't as accurate as the synthetic stocked ones I shot... could be a coincidence.

Could you please reference all your facts.  If you can't we will call them an opinion.

So Bigshooter, I take it shoving a tikka up my exwifes butt is out of the question??

  That would probably ruin a good gun. unless of course it was synthetic and stanless

...and I think that wins the debate...

Tell you what... you can take you wood stock and stick it in a tub of water for a couple of days... I'll do the same with one of my HSP stocks. Which one do you think will absorb the water and warp?

Then... we'll stick the butt of both in a vise... and hang weight off the end and measure deflection untill one breaks. Which one do you think will flex more and break first?

After that... we'll we can stand them up and shoot them with my .20 cal Sheridan just to see how the stocks handle abuse. Which do you think will with stand the punishment?

So... if you're done being a complete Richard Cranium... maybe you'll bow out of this post now. By the way... it's a bit Freudian the way you keep talking about stuff getting shoved up asses.

People please read what I have posted.  You have made as many post's as I have about shoving something up somebodies ass.  I will say it again this site feels like MM more and more everyday.  I posted my opinion on here.  Then I was told repeatedly that some how what I said was fact.  In nearly every post i said in my opinion I don't like synthetic and I gave my reason.  I never said at anytime that wood was better than synthetic.  I said I perfer wood over synthetic.  Please if you are going to attack someone read what they have posted first.
