[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 1000759, member: 69773"] I have never sold a gun, but if I were buying a used rifle built on: a) Factory action - but fixed up by a smith b) Brand name after market action I would personally feel better about buying the after market action version for a premium price, but I would not pay a premium for a fixed up Remington. It is like over improving your house in a neighborhood. It is great you, but don't expect the resale market to support it. If it were a Weatherby Mark V, that might be different. I might be the wrong person to ask about lookie-loo wood. I was very happy when I bought what (in my eyes) was a really nice gun + stock. After about 4 -5 trips I managed to slide down a hillside in OR and it now has scratches that match the scars on my arms. Still shoots the same as far as I can tell. I still like to look at a rifle with a pretty wood stock, but I would be afraid to carry artwork into the woods. [/QUOTE]
