That bavarian is a super sweet rifle ...hey have you checked out the sako hunter stainless?

Its sweet and I like stainless just for its rust resistance...never seen one in the store though.
I have rifles in all materials wood, synthetic, and laminate all hold a special place in my heart but I like laminate the most could be that its a sako M75 greywolf

Synthetics have all the right properties weather resistant ...light...can take more abbuse...and strong? unfourtunatly strong can only be associated with a aftermarket $500 synthetic. Cheap synthetics can also be loud and hollow sounding ....not to mention cold.
I like wood cause its classic and a nice hard wood can't be beat
but it is not ideal for extreme weather or some hard use. Wood is also nice to handle has that warm soft feel.....(I swear im not trying to be sick here)
Laminate is nice comprimise more durable than wood, rigid, warm to the touch, solid, more weather resistant than wood.
