The contrast between walnut & black would be good. My 338 is in an old remodel 30s stock. It would complement that as well as the 7mm AI.
I'll full length bed the 7mm, and float the bbl. Relieved the action & bbl chanel already. I'm stripping the finish off it as well. I'm thinking straight danish oil with a coat or two of truoil on top as a sealer coat. Still trying to decide if I want to thin the stock a bit. Those ruger factory stocks are thick and square, but usually have a decent grain under their varnish.
