when you strip your stock it will be blond like this one.

What color was it from the factory? I've never refinished a Savage .22 LR. The ones I've seen had truly awful looking stocks from the factory. The same for most Mossbergs, although Mossberg did do a good job on some of their .22's. By the way, have you ever had a 144? A friend of mine (several years ago) had a 144-LSB that shot incredibly well. It was set up like the Winchester 52. They still have pretty good values, too, although not approaching those of a Winchester 52.

it was a mud brown color that looked terrible.i have had various mossbergs,they all shoot very well.i think the mossbergs and the marlins are better guns than the winchester but the rest of society dont agree with me
