Now you see my predicament. Rustic looks good, all beat up and all. But I was at a cowboy match in Ohio once. There were at least four 97 Winchesters there. Each one had been overhauled, restocked, and reblued. Man did they look nice. Plus, even if you do that, after two years of shooting on the cowboy circuit it is going to have some nicks, scratches and usage marks identifying as a beloved shooter. Well, its the off season and I still can't decide what to do.
