It is stocked in curly maple, called fiddle-back by some. It has been stained in an ugly light coloured yellow pigment and then oiled afterwards. simply oiled, the stock would have been a beige colour, ie: very light brown - also ugly to my eye.
Very nasty indeed, as it is.
I also thought the .300 Savage chambering to be rather puzzling as well.
