I never babied my rifles and I have wood stocked blued rifles that are 30 years old and look better than most a tenth their age...however I have learned to like the luxury of not paying attention to little dings, bumps, and rainstorms on a SS/Syn rifle

OTOH, being somewhat a traditionalist and hunting Africa in warm dry climates, it seemed to me a sin to use anything other than classic rifles. So I didn't.



Gophers and coyotes don't beg for classic rifles, so they get SS/Syn. grin
The .375 RUM I have is a Rem 700 SS/Syn. As it is in the gunsafe it weighs 6lbs & 14 ozs. Going to put another stock on it and right now I like either English walnut or a laminate,what say Ingwe?

It also has no iron sights,dunno if I want them or not. Was thinking of using money for iron sights and getting a better grade of English walnut. Do have a fixed Leupold 2.5x scope that is going on the rifle. Again what say Ingwe?
