[QUOTE="98s1lightning, post: 3047671, member: 129199"] What are you using to strip factory finishes with? All I think of on my high gloss gun is accidentally scraping off a revolver hammer or something like that, it happens so fast, then there's a big scrape mark. Im kind of undecided to run the nice wood. It fits me properly, and it fits the action/rifle from factory; made to fit. Best I can tell its a good fit for the action..... Flip side of running plastic/synthetic is temperature and sun exposure can affect it. I've seen old plastic crumble and snap. Would really suck to have your rifles forearm snap, or some stupid s*** like that, when you fire it. I'm interested in learning about maintaining oiled wood. Only thing I can relate to that is axe handles. Always used linseed oil but that stuff smells I wouldn't want it on me or my gear for hunting. I don't like show either. Anything in my life that's too showy doesn't get used. I'd rather not have it and get something I don't feel awkward using. Slowly getting rid of "collector" type things the older I get. No point in owning it, if it doesn't get use. Might as well have a PICTURE instead hahahaha. Reason I have the fancy wood is at the time of purchase I wasn't aware it was available in any other configuration and wanted the 284win caliber. FYI the Browning A-Bolt come in a standard grade, and a medallion. The standards are matte finish and walnut. The medallions, nicely blued, and gloss wood with rosewood grip cap and forend cap.
