The factory finish had a red hue which I didn't like and also tended to chip anytime it was bumped into anything. I'm happy with the results.

Original finish


Reworked


Should hold up better and shows off the grain more.

I stripped it with a chemical paint remover then mineral spirits to get the original stain out then satin Varathane.

Nice result. I have a Model 70 made in 1962, and while the stock has some nice grain, the finish and checkering are just dreadful.
