I would buy E grades like that for $600 all day long.

A couple of options come to mind. If you can do the inletting, get a blank and have it carved. There was some one here who could hide that with creative use of paint, just can't remember the name. Also seem to remember that Chuck H had a "transplant" method that would work on that butt stock.
