Solved that "sole-less" feeling for me. All others are gone except a 788 that I did a similar treatment on and it is my short-range gun.

This is a good idea, to disguise its plasticky presence. Though it will likely cost you if you ever decide to sell it.

The T3's are attractive to me because, besides expected inherent accuracy and reasonable price, they are available in 6.5x55, a chambering I feel is the sweet spot.
