Gee Corey! I kinda like it...

I don't know it may end up growing on me, I'll take it out side in the sun light. need to bore sight again with floating the barrel too.

Corey, that's the nature of a hardwood stock like birch. That stock just had a lot of open grain wood that soaked in the stain/linseed oil more giving it a darker color than the closed grain. But it looks like you did a good job and the wood is protected. That's why most stocks are made from walnut or maple. And BTW, I'm like sabot, I sort of like it, its unique.

Yep it's birch. The stock on my 10/22 did the same thing at the pistol grip. I kinda like it too.
