I'd stick with the birch, James. I love pretty walnut, but the birch is just something a little different, and I think it's kinda neat that it grew in Scandinavia before being transformed into a gunstock, and ending up down he'ah. If they stained mine, they didn't use much. It looks nothing like walnut but is pleasing to the eye to me. Not blonde, but not dark either.
I've got an old Lyman 25X LWBR scope on mine. Fun to take potshots at crows with it so far away that they think they're safe. I had to glass bed the action and first few inches of barrel, float the rest of the barrel and put in a Timney trigger to get it to shoot to suit me. It does pretty fair for a tiny barrel like that. Minute of crow, or better. 52 grainers are what it likes best.
