I've never been all that enthused about synthetic stocks except for on accurate rifles,and this thread reminds me why. Even a tool challenged type like me can and do change stock length and other dimensions w/o all this trouble with wood.

One thing, outside of bad form, more poor shooting can be blamed on bad stock fit than any other cause.And, while it's just a theory, I opine that HD and slugshooter shotguns will benefit from being stocked like rifles rather than for winged prey.
