I hate to say it, but all the guns with a screw look like sh!!. The stock can be clamped shut, and a headless screw like a 4/40 be installed with glue or now a days epoxy on it. It doesn't go all the way through so only one side is showing. If it's set down in a bit, some wood or epoxy can be put over it. With a little die and scratching one has trouble even seeing the repair. It can even sometimes be done where the wood goes up in the action so nothing shows. JMHO. I even had a 1894 Remington someone had done like this and I never saw it for two years, and I'm only half blind.
