			I have two Savage 110s, in .270 and the other in .30-06.  I put a few coats of Tru-Oil on them and they look great.  I never sand a finished stock, but have stripped them with paint and varnish remover.  I will admit that the Savage hardwood stock is stained and I have a mark or two that I could not match up color-wise.  I just live with it.  Someday I will get real walnut stocks for these rifles.  All the best...
