I was leaning towards the 30-03, but the stock refinish is bugging me a little. Being that I'm in Kuwait right now I won't be seeing the rifle until nearly next fall, so no 3 day inspection period for me.

Unless you're in love with the .38-72 cartridge, it looks a bit crusty for the price. For the same coin and elk on your mind I'd look at this one. http://merzantiques.com/photo/winchester-1895-405
That said, that flatside .40-72 is still the pick of the litter.
