my first gun has a wood stock and i put a few dings in it.
I agree though.....the wood looks really good.

I held one of the Tikka T3 Lites (platic stock) and I did not like how it felt in my hands so I went with the wood stocked model and just decided to be fine with scratches (plus I like the wood/blued look). The thing that I didn't like about the plastic stock models is that the checkering isn't cut into the stock, but actually is raised out of it... just didn't feel right in my hands. On the walnut model, the checkering is cut into the stock.

i might get blasted for this, but i will take it like a man if i do. those guns are a lot better looking to me with a wood stock than they are with a plastic stock.
good looking rifle.

Nice! How do you like the DNZ mount? I was thinking about getting one for my next project rifle.
This is the first DNZ mount that I have owned, so I can't say that I have a lot of experience with it. But just from looking at it, it looks like a good quality scope mount. Well made and feels like a very secure method of scope mounting. All the reviews that I read online said that they were happy with them. If/when I buy another rifle, I will buy another DNZ mount.

No blast as long as you are the one carrying the extra weight of the wood.

all mine are synthetic, and i don't mind the weight. nothing against the tikka's, just not my cup of tea. it's obvious they are great rifles.
