I have an old (40-50 year old) Pre-Garcia Sako L61R Finnbear 270 that I hunt with and never plan on selling as it has a high sentimental factor because my dad gave it to me. I'm considering having Hill Country Rifles in New Braunfels do some work on it and wanted to know if you think it's worth it.

Things being considered:

Changing out the original fixed sling mounts for quick detach sling swivel mounts
New recoil pad
Refinish the stock with an oil finish
Black cerakoting the metal parts/barrel
Polish bolt to look new
Jewel bolt
Sharpen checkering

Essentially, I'm thinking I want the rifle to look new but also be very usable in the field as I hunt with it. I have attached a couple pictures and would appreciate your thoughts.
