I have a DWM contract Mauser with a SS barrel chambered in .308. It has a synthetic stock on it. At one point I modified the stock to give it a 'classic' profile and then fitted a 4X Khales.

The rifle shoots well enough I guess and the practicality of the materials make sense to me BUT, it isn't really something that I like to look at and nor do I get any real sense of joy when out hunting with it. When I encounter fellow hunters I tend to hide it from view.
