It is your rifle, but d&t ing it will decrease the value. This just my two cents worth, but I'd look for one that has already been done. They are generally cheaper.Then you'll have one that goes up in value, and one to play with.I hunted for months to find one that had been "sporterized" (bubba took a saw to the stock and barrel both). Got it for about half what a stock rifle would cost .A stock swede is great to shoot, but if you want a scope thats the way I'd go. Just my opinion.
