I'd love a New, stainless mini. However, I can only find them available with a composite stock. While only the Blued minis have a wood stock. If I could get a stainless in wood, I'd be in heaven. I've got a Mo-Rod on mine right now (

The reason I prefer a wood stock is, I find the composite stock is to light for the gun to balance well in my hands. It's front heavy with all the action and barrel and everything from the middle forward, while the but of the gun is light as a feather. I'm sure I could get used to it, and learn to love it. But to me, the wood stock just feels better, and ultimately reduces felt recoil, potentially giving you better follow up shots.
