11-87: wood vs. rubber

[pupchow]

Thinking of getting a Remington 11-87, which the wife would be using for casual clays. Is there a reason to not use one finish over another? I'm thinking the overmolded finish might be too tacky.

Personal preference.....I like wood especially if it has some half decent grain. You can always pretty up the wood by refinishing it and staining it.

Whatever fits, physically and mentally is best.

If the wife can try them both on, that's best; if she can shoot both, that's better. The balance will be different, giving a different feel. Which is best is subjective.

My opinion....wood esp as a duck or skeet gun

The temptation to make a joke about having wood is overwhelming, but there was a similar thread recently and someone already made the obvious joke, so I will refrain.

Still - I do like wood better because it is prettier. That's pretty much my entire defense of wood versus nylon.
