Thank you all for the input, much appreciated.

Shrapnel, that is a beauty, they do look so right with the vintage scopes. I've got a couple old PermaCenter 20x scopes, may put one on this rifle if it does well with the 6x.

I'm going to get it to the range tomorrow, hoping for the best. If it shoots well it might present a dilemma. I believe in leaving vintage guns alone if original but this one has such nice wood hiding under the old peeling finish I might be tempted to refinish the stock and have the bottom metal reblued.

What do you all think?
