Czech,
I've stripped a gloss model 70 stock on a 308 that got dropped and needed refinished, and that gloss finish Browning uses is pretty tough stuff. I've no desire to get into a refinishing project at this time. I've got enough other rifles in various flavors, and a little variety never hurts. And there's no real need, other than aesthetics/personal preference. I never had any critters complain because they were shot with a gloss gun.
