It's a matter of taste I know, but you should see this thing, it came out 
real nice!  I guess it's birch, and it smoothed out very well going down 
to the 1500grit and a bit of elbow grease.  I took my time but still 
could not get every scratch out, but it's not noticable unless you 
reflect light off the stock into your eyes, and people seldom view that 
shallow angle.  I 'finished' it with a light coat of thin oil, and with 
the silver barrel, action, and scope it looks quite pretty.  I would not 
have beleived it on a bet.  :-)
Now I just need to finish the set screws I'm using as trigger stops.

Okay, as long as it's consistant.  Just goofing around, I found that 
it'll put almost anything into a nice tight penny sized hole at 25 yards, 
and that's with my crappy shooting, and some yahoo blasting away with a 
.44 2 stalls down.  Anything that is, except the CCI Stingers.  They
opened up to about 1&3/4" from their previous 3/4" to 1" groups in the
factory barrel.  I think the twist is faster, and it's upsetting the 
stability.
A nice suprise is that the Remington Viper, previously lousy grouping in 
the factory barrel, is now a tight grouper.  Between that and the 
Winchester powerpoint, I've got a good set of ammo to work with.  Know of 
any 45gr .22lr?

Okay!  It's a lot less work too!  :-)  Thanks for the reply.
