[QUOTE="Crews, post: 1488348, member: 83626"] Man, If I was passed down an heirloom rifle like that the last thing I'd want to do is scalp that original wood stock. To each his own, but you already robbed a lot of the soul and erased some of the stories by refinishing the metal, don't do it to the wood too. If you're dead set on spending money on it.... widen the barrel channel if the barrel isn't free floated, and bed the action in the stock. All internal work that isn't visible. Regarding a scope.... did you grandpa hunt with iron sights? Because if he did you'd be a lot cooler if you did too. [/QUOTE]
