Beautiful piece of wood, wish they would not use the stamp checkering otherwise would be easy to refinish and bring out details in the stock.

Just get a single line cutter and an edger and re-trace all the lines deeper.

While I rather like the wood on my new 93R17 GV..it doesn't have the character of that one.

If you strip it you will find a very ugly piece of wood. It just happens that the particular stain they use will bring it out. I have stripped a few with similar and even nicer grain and they look like mud unless a lot of work is put into them. It is not just a strip and recoat.
