Well, I pulled all the varnish off and put a more appropriate scope on it...
Look Ma! No more yellow-line spacers!
Here's the worst of the finish wear...
It's definitely less orange and more red in person than today's pics show. The initial pics I took are failing to show the before/after contrast. It went from looking 75-80% to 99%. Not crazy about the mounts, but they'll do. I don't think the iron sights will work w/ a set of Redfields.
