wood over synthetic. Although whatever Gamo uses is not the fanciest of woods. I think my crank baits have higher quality wood in 'em.

I hope someone out there will help us with that situation.....
Gun wise, isn't the hunter elite the new 1250?

I wish I had the hunter elite, but both are great guns. Let us know what you decide.
