Ruger #1 30-06

[Elkbelter]

Ruger One in '06
26" medium barrel. 1B version.
Older red pad era(nicer figured wood and slimmer comb)-though this has a black Decelerator pad on it at 14" lop.
Hunting scratches and light dings. Ruger 1" rings included.
3 rust smudges on left receiver--tough to show in pics-but they are there.
I love #1's - but don't need this one...
$1075

Stock looks like it's been refinished at some point. Can you advise on that point? Sometime pics are deceiving.

Thanks,

I am not sure if refinished, I have owned about 20-25 #1's. Seems earlier rifles almost always had better figured wood. And to show off, owners would put linseed oil to bring it out more. This gave the stock a glaze after 20-30 years. To add to that, I noticed some guns were just shinier than others.
