That was kind of my initial thought...I don't want the stock to cost more than the barreled action itself, so I can't spring for the XX Walnut. On Boyd's Facebook page, they have a Remington 798 in Maple that looks REALLY good. I was going to do nutmeg laminate for stability and weatherproofing along with black fore end cap and fleur de lis checkering. I guess to throw in the mix, too, I just got done putting together a Rem 700 SPS 30-06 in a Grayboe stock. So I guess I've got the utilitarian angle covered.
