I don't normally like camoed rifles, but that looks pretty cool.
I had one of those tupperware stocks so I'm sure anything you did was an improvement.
My hunting buddy bought the same rifle. We put a Basix trigger in, and It shoots great so I know why you would want to keep it.
did you get one of there kit's with airbrush and the paint all in one ? really like the texture and color of it cool looking rig ! the stevens/savage are good shooters out of the box
