Man I really like to tweak my rifles also, recently I have pillar bedded two stocks for my Savage 110, and painted one of those in cammo. I just bought a Savage 111 in 30-06, from my #1 son, it's already basically pillar bedded, so it got a new Decelarator recoil pad, and it's getting painted today. I just thought that it looks a little better than a Plain black synthetic stock....
