That is good to her about the birch. Just figured it is as crappy as it looks. I can easily paint it...have done it before. So at the very least make the stock look better and put a decent recoil pad on it. At this point I believe I will see how it shoots, and if it shoots well maybe shoot it a while until the barrel gets shot out, then look at replacing the barrel.
......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
