Thanks buddy. It's not a custom, but I think it will make a dandy shooter/hunter. I really don't have to do anything to it, that I haven't already done. I think the paint on the stock is going to make a difference. I will leave the black pachmayr on for now. Mcmillan fits them very nicely and this one is in great condition. Not really any sense in replacing it now, but the first sign of a nick or scratch on it and it's coming off and I'll install a red one. ha ha...
