Nice gun. Bummer about the jeweling.
Maybe not that critical.
It's a shooter, not a collector. To me jeweling isn't that big a negative for such a gun.
IMO.

I agree with DF. I actually like jeweling on bolt bodies. When on the extractor, it looks a little tacky though. However, for a hunting rifle, it's nice because it helps to smooth up the action. I had the bolt body jeweled on my semi custom 338wm, for function and looks.
