Gary on the pillars did you leave the action side flat or concave?

I bedded my stock this week and have a couple of stainless steal pillars a friend of mine made for me (concave at the action) and as an afterthought I thought about bedding them in especially when the action screws do not torque down without pressing into the stock.

I also bought some stain from Ace that has "Gun Stock" as the shade, but this looks to have a red tint to it, so I'm also looking for a stain that is close to the Birchwood Casey kit I did for a 10/22 stock. It has Walnut Stain in it but the only Walnut stain I found list it as “Dark” and I tried this but it looks more black then brown to me. Anyone have a suggestion on this?
