.... the rifle is original but well used and no where near collector quality. There is bluing wear, a recoil pad, no front hood sight, etc. It is a hunters rifle and nothing more.
Perfect! Regardless if it's "collectors quality", it's a classic rifle in a classic caliber, so use it as such. Fill the magazine and go huntin'! There are times when a guy just needs to put on the Filsons and wander the woods with blued steel and walnut. Sounds like you have other rifles to use when you're wearin' Under Armour.
