Recruit, no the figured buttstock isn't normal. Since it's a factory replacement, I wonder if the customer didn't pay a bit more for a nicer piece of wood, or if the customer wasn't so ticked off that Savage put it on to shut him up. I knew the buttstock wasn't original when I bought it, but the nice wood made me buy it anyway.

Joe, I am messed up.. but the boat was outside when I wanted pictures so it became the platform of choice. Was used more than once for that purpose..
