Had a smith rework the buttstock and make me a beefier forend to accommodate my large hands. I can't stand grabbing the barrel. It points and handles really well now. They don't make them anymore, but I would fancy another one 7x57 or 8x57.

There's now zero plastic, aluminum, rubber or glass bedding. Just hardened blued steel and walnut. 5.9 pounds loaded. I also bought a beautiful buffalo hide leather sling made by the Amish. I have to dig it out of my gun room.

If the barrel had been about 20" or so with the full stock, it would have looked about right. Anyway, I had FTF issues with mine and only so-so accuracy, so it went down the road. If I could get my hands on one in 7X57R or other Euro rimmed cartridge, I'd jump at it!

OP Kurgan Campfire Greenhorn Joined: Jul 2023 Posts: 51 Tobacco Country, SW Ontario	Thanks. I just got it ready for outdoor use. I did 1 to 2 coats of Tru-Oil over the Jim Chambers oil finish. A nice hard satin finish that really resists moisture and normal use. Just enough gloss for my liking. It was a real journey to get it to this form!
