I have a 20-222 build going together right now and I'm going with a classic BDL Custom Deluxe "look" on this build, with the exception all the metal will be cerakoted black instead of being blued.
I'm using a real pretty Rem BDL Walnut stock I took off another gun some years ago and it's a real pretty piece of wood. I seriously considered trying to strip that glossy plastic like coating they have on them and going with a hand rubbed oil finish instead but I was worried I'd eff the stock up and have a real mess so I chickened out and left it alone but reading this is making me second guess myself.
