Everything you have said here is correct. It is a matter of choice and if I was going on a serious hunt in terrible weather I would spring for a stainless rifle with plastic stock. But I don't do that kind of thing anymore.Actually I think a rifle that functions well is a beautiful thing but I also think some of the look nice. You're talking about a matter of preference. I'll take a rifle that will be looking new in 50 years over one that won't every time. And a quality stainless barrel and a synthetic stock will outlast a wood stock by decades. I have beautiful walnut stocks that are warped to the point they won't work, others that are dinged and scratched, and some that are both. You might call it "plastic" but it costs twice as much as walnut and lasts twice as long regardless of conditions. I love the look of wood and blued steel too but I love function more. And that isn't why people like the looks of the 12 LRPV. They look nice even if you don't think so.
