Cant beat wood for looks, Plastic has its places, but wood just looks right on a shotgun

Good looking guns! I too like the wood, I have 1 black .22, 1 black SKS, and 1 black .308, everything else wears wood!

Very nice. I like the wood on both of them.

The one below is modified Remington 1100. It`s not pretty, but it gets the job done.

I just love the looks of that blonde 870. It just looks serious.
The M37 is sweet though too. Nice scatterguns!
