I have two Rugers with those stocks. A Scout synthetic and a Hawkeye 308. I like them both very much. If you can, head in to a shop and get your hands on one and do a close inspection. I am happy with mine for sure.
I am not sure what they are made of. But I have 2 and the wife has 1. Love em. I have hunted alot with both mine. they take a beating, fowl weather, rain, snow, single digit cold, nothing bothers them. they are not pretty but all ours shoot great.
Yes they feel good in my hands. lot of syn/plastic one do not. My wife and a friends wife both like them because they are a little liter than wood. Too bad ruger quit producing all weather 77's.
