I've changed my mind. I don't think you should waste time on that one.

I've got one of these to get on with, too. Off a hound hunter's rifle, that I picked up for cheap, with a rooted barrel.

This one's going to need the checkering re-cut, so I'll do a build thread on constructing a checkering cradle from waterpipe and fittings soonish.

The remaining finish is a very tough DuPont epoxy, so that might take some getting off. Yep, this one's a lefty; Rem 700BDL LH, now wearing a new TSE .338 Win Mag barrel.

Polystrippa is your friend Gadge. Took the bowling ball finish off my BDL stock no problem.

Nice work as usual Missed, are you going to re touch the checkering? If you want I know where a reasonable checkering kit is hiding :D
