Yeah, the stock looks good! I plan to go to the range with some buddies in a week or so. I bought 120 rds gp-11 off midwayusa and that should get here today actually.
Eventual plans include a Saint Marie's clamp-on mount or a Darell's mount depending if i want to go out on a limb and try a scout-type mount.

I was originally going to un-finish it then refinish and put some darker brown stain on there but upon holding the rifle i have no desire to refinish, its a cool rifle. So you are saying i could clean it up and apply some oil to it and it and that might help preserve it more?

Ive heard/read of tung oil and boiled lemonseed oil being the 2 most common oils to apply
Just apply it to the wood and lightly sand between coats???

Thanks, i read a lot about refinishing before i received the rifle but i just want to preserve it better and not redo the whole thing
