Could make a fun project with no real sense of urgency. You could take your time with it. Yeah, it'd be nice if they offered it already with an oil finish, but you know the manufacturer's reality ... can't offer every conceivable configuration. After all, leg-hound dry humping says you want one PRETTY BAD there ... And, no, I don't work for Savage .

I called them directly (which is another story unto itself...) and was referred to a sporting goods shop back east who is supposed to be their dealer in Canada...so I phoned them and, naturally, they never heard of Dednutz. In fact, he thought I was kidding him...and I'm not making this up! "Dead...Nuts????" "Yes, they're scope mounts." Dednutz is now Grim Reaper. "Just a second...(Yells across the store...) Hey, Marv! Do we sell Dead Nuts??? What??? They're some kind of scope mounts! No, I'm not kidding! ... Sorry, Sport, never heard of 'em. Dead Nuts you say? You sure about that???" "Seriously. Hey, no problem. Thanks anyway." I went with Burris Signatures. Dednutz is now Grim Reaper.

As a matter of fact there is. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/derivations If there's one thing I've become certain of it's that there's too much certainty in the world.
