I like the idea, but the architecture is out of whack. The barrel needs to be about 2 inches longer, or now that you're stuck, the stock needs to be shorter, probably by 2 inches or just a little more. After a butt pad is added the gun will
appear to be butt end heavy even if it handles okay.
I would have stained the stock several shades darker, too, plus added a red background, but that's just my personal preference.
Here's a Martini stock I reworked as I couldn't tolerate the gun when it showed up-
I've knocked the shine back slightly since that photo was shot. The stain is Minwax, the finish is about 15 very thin applications of 25% Tru Oil with turpentine, rubbed out between coats to make certain there is no cloudiness in the finish. I fooled around with the stock so long that it started to pick up dings just from handling. My next stock for a target or utility rifle will probably get about 3 or 4 coats of Minwax polyurethane from an aerosol can, rubbed in with each application.
