Just wanted to share what the wife built. Savage FVSR - Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC, Weaver Rings, Boyd's Stock which she stained and finished, DIP Bottom Metal and Trigger Guard, Tactical Solutions Compensator and Champion 6-9 Swivel Bipod

Very nice rifle . I love my fvsr , great guns.
Yup. Gotcha! Yup, and "my Wife" is buying a 408 Cheytac today too!
Lol I do have to admit I had a little to do with what direction she took with her rifle. But I'm lucky to even get to shoot it! She loves to joke and say she will let me clean it if I want to get my hands on it, at least I think she's joking....Quote:

Ya she is very happy with how it turned out. The wife and I are both lefties but we have succumbed/adapted to living in a right handed world.Quote:

She just used some basic Minwax products - Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner, Red Mahogany oil based Stain and 3 coats of Fast Drying Polyurethane Clear Satin for the finish.Quote:

With Boyd's Tacticool stock
After I changed it and put it over a Rhineland Arms Leapord stock. Extremely ergonomic....

Great looking rig. I like that stock a lot! Looks like I may have to build my own Savage tack driver now. Might be a 17hmr I think.Quote:

You do take your chances with how happy you will be with the look of the grain...one of the reasons my 597 is painted black with Duracoat and not stained. It would have taken quite a bit of sanding to eliminate the blemish from the glue seam in the laminate. The wife's stock had a minimal amount of what I consider "blemish" and she wasn't concerned and went ahead with the staining. Wow I think a simple yes to your question would have been sufficient. Lol
She did good!
Rhineland. I remember when he first started out. Good for him!
