This "Smyth Busters" episode from Brownells debunks the myth that synthetic stocks are definitively better than wood. While wood stocks offer superior aesthetics, modern synthetics excel in durability and resistance to environmental factors like moisture and temperature fluctuations, which can affect wood's stability and action-stock fitment. However, with proper techniques like glass bedding and the use of aluminum pillars, wood stocks can achieve comparable stability and accuracy to synthetics. Ultimately, the choice between wood and synthetic stocks depends on the intended use and personal preference, with synthetics being the more robust option for hard use and extreme conditions.
