A previous owner of my treasured varmint rifle did a horrible job of installing sling swivel studs in the walnut stock. I'd like to make a respectable-looking fix.
The wood damage is extensive enough that those synthetic bullseye inserts are probably not going to make things look any better. I don't need or want sling swivels.
Looking for ideas and photos of options for an inlay of wood, metal or ?? material that you or others have made in a stock. The front hole will be easy: the aft one will be difficult because the gooned job was done off-center.
Any suggestions or links for such fixes will be appreciated.
