[QUOTE="Bowfishn, post: 3045302, member: 56875"] I have a few wood stock rifles and have carried them into the woods many a time. I love the looks of a nice stock, but my rifles are to hunt with not worried about resale. When I am gone my children and grandchildren will own them. My father bought a rifle back in 1963 that I always admired as a youngster it had a beautiful walnut stock with a gloss finish, it was the first new rifle he could afford, It was a L61R Sako Finnbear 30-06 with a fixed 4 power Weaver scope. I think he paid less than $140.00 for it, first day out during that deer season he slipped and banged the stock on a rock. It wasn't a big dent in the stock but was a dent, as said it just adds character. Over the years my dad has let me use the rifle when ever I wanted to and a few years before he passed he gave it to me. I bought another L61R 30-06 that was made in 1972 so I have 2 now both topped with Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16 x 50 scopes, the rifles both weigh in at almost 10.5 lbs and I will take them out every once and a while to hunt with or shoot. They both shoot sub MOA at 100 yards. [/QUOTE]
