Hogue over mold stock

I have a Savage Predator in a 22-250 it shoots great.However Iam thinking of putting a hogue overmold stock on it to replace the stock it came with. I would lose the camo of the original stock. The hogue is green but feels alot better to me than the original. Or do you think I should just keep the factory stock? It would kind of look funny with a green stock and a camo barrel.
 
Shooting stuff has nothing to do with winning a beauty contest! If the Hogue feels better to you than you will most likely shoot more & therefore better with it. So do it! I bet that camo stock would fetch a couple of bucks on PM classifieds to offset the cost of the Hogue stock too, if not cover it altogether. Green on green camo would probably look kinda cool anyhow...IMHO.
For reference, I sold off a beautiful Richard's laminated wood stock on my 10/17Mach2 to put a Hogue overmolded stock on instead. As in your case, the Hogue felt much better to me when out hunting squirrels & bunnies on real cold winter days. The laminated stock would slip through my gloved hands too easily.
Although it doesn't look as pretty, I love that little rimfire now more than ever with the Hogue!
good luck...
 
One thing to keep in mind is weight...

How much does the Hogue weigh compared to your factory stock?

If it is a bench gun it won't matter. But if you are lugging that around all day, it gets a little old.
