For the every day Joe a dowel rod with sand paper wrapped around it is pretty hard to beat. You can't really mess it up.

No, the chances of it being uneven is much greater when using a dremel. The wooden dowel with 2 sided tape for the sand paper works the best. It takes alot of elbow grease but you cant beat it unless your using a washer tool for inletting stocks.

I would stay away from the dremel ... Too easy to butcher it up. I've always used a socket with sand paper under it. Try to go the full length of the barrel channel. Dont spend too much time in one section or it will come out uneven. Also, while your at it, float the tang (it's a Savage thing). Use your dremel on this if you have a router type bit. Be careful though, take your time and do light cuts ... A little bit goes a long way here. I usually scribe around the tang and kiss the scribe mark with the bit.

I usually use long sockets with sandpaper wrapped around them, lots of sizes to utilize between standard and metric.

As others have said, 1" dowel rod and adhesive sandpaper.
If you have 'regular' sandpaper, you can duct tape some to the dowel.
Cheap/Works well/lasts long time.

Sounds like the dowel makes the most sense if I were to do it.
