It's a fuggin handle, boys!
I have two with pretty wood.
When they get buggered up, I refinish them.
If course, I don't have much money in them either- they are tool handles, not "works of art".
I won't ever have a rife too pretty to hunt with, cuz I'm to damned cheap! MOA or less is beauty to me, and hang the aesthetics, and I can get that for way less than even a synthetic stock goes for now days. Most times.
YMMV.
That's exactly what my old friend Bob use to tell me; "it's just a handle". Still miss him after 16 years.
