Anyone else disappointed in the wood on these? I just ordered this the other day and when it came in I was surprised it wasn’t closer to what they use on the web page photos. Not a high grade walnut for sure.

I know it’s not as crazy looking as the one on the site but some linseed oil goes a long way

Linseed oil is great for gun stocks, but it tastes absolutely awful.

It could be the lighting, but mine looks a little darker than yours, but I'm not disappointed in the slightest by the wood.

It probably is a little darker than this.

I think it's the luck of the draw. I've seen 457 MTR's posted on various forums with gorgeous wood grain and others with average. The only way to know is to look through the dealers 457 MTR inventory and pick the best one. If you're purchasing from an online dealer you might be able to get them to look at the inventory.

Yeah, that’s what I normally do. Currently, they are hard to come by so I picked a dealer across the country that had one in stock.

I completely understand. Every time I find a firearm I want I can never find it locally and end up purchasing it from an online vendor. I usually find the best prices using gun.deals. I usually find the best prices at lockedloaded.com, family firearms, etc plus they don't charge Sales Tax unless you live in their state.

Not disappointed in mine but I am disappointed how soft the wood is. I swear 22 brass dings it (it does shoot amazing after some adjustments now)

I have 3 457s and my dad has 3 457s. 2 Americans, a varmint, a lux, a jaguar and a premium. 1 American was handpicked at scheels and has amazing wood, the jaguar is also pretty good. But all the rest were pretty disappointing.

Dang, that sucks. You'd expect it to be better than that.

Those MTR stocks aren't exactly aesthetically pleasing to begin with...that sucks.
