Whats the obsession with wood stocks? is there any benefit ?

I don't know... I kinda like my Buccaneer in the Urban stock. It looks better than the Urban did.
And the Urban definitely looks better in the wood Buccaneer stock.

For hunting rifles, PB or AB, I prefer synthetic or in some cases laminate stocks to walnut, beech or some weird species of wood not identified. Walnut can be and usually is a fine stock material and often quite beautiful but it is not as stable or weather proof as synthetic stocks. Opinion based on my uses.
