Have any of you replaced the wood stock on your rifle with a synthetic? I am looking at changing out the wooden stock on my Wichester Model 70 to a camo synthetic. The only one I can find is made by Bell & Carlson and is a little steep ($165). It is Mossy Oak and I think it would be great for durability and peace of mind while hunting (not worried about scratches, dings, etc., especially when raising/lowering from tree stand or tripod).
However, are they easy to intall on your gun? Should I have a gunsmith do it? Can you reinstall the original wood later with no consequences?
Here is the one I'm looking at:

Thanks for the input.
