daystate huntsman stock

[dayo]

i have reacently been thinking about purchasing a daystate huntsman but there are two stocks, ones plastic and the other wood, could someone please tell me the advantages of each stock and tell me which is better for HFT.

thanks,

Andy.

I also have a Huntsman.
The Huntsman with the synthetic stock is called the Shadow and I dint believe they are made any longer.
I found the walnut stock on mine wasent a great fit for me as it felt a bit too narrow but they are both nice looking stocks.
I now have a CS700 thumbhole stock on mine (photo in signature) which improves handling a lot.
the synthetic stocks are supposed to be a bit lighter and take knocks a little better and dont scratch as easily so are usually used for hunting purposes.

Correct me if Im wrong but I thought they are both wood? The shadow (which was a limited edition) was just dyed walnut?

I have a Huntsman, and love it.

I think you're right too - so wood would be best

Yep you have got the choice of wood or .wood

My mistake
Thought it was plastic

At one time I had both the trad walnut Huntsman and the dyed black walnut Shadow. They both appeared identical but the pistol grip...I think it may be called the palm swell.. on the Shadow felt fatter. Great rifles

It was a bit more than dying IIRC.

They used some sort of resin to seal the wood giving it a much more robust surface against the elements.

Personally, I was peed off when it came out as I had just bought a standard huntsman and would have preffered the shadow...ah well...ce la vie
