Alright, so here's the deal. A member of this forum approached me with the gun I am after for a very attractive price. The problem is, it has 2 chips in the clear coat of the stock. It appears that they go all the way to the wood. From my research, repairing said chips is pretty much impossible with the RKW finish that Big Green uses. Depending on the size of the chips, they can be repaired with super glue, and fixes are almost impossible to spot. I'd snap it up regardless...... I've never heard of this super glue method. Is it as simple as putting super glue on it and smoothing it? I'd say the chips are approximately 1/4" diameter and somewhat round in shape. Is this method doable for something that size?

Been a while since I've done it, but basically level the area to the world, degrease, and apply the SG enough that it stands proud of the stock. Let it sit for 24 hours, and block sand it down level with 1000 or 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper.

I have a 700 Mountain LSS in 260. It has a Leupold Varix3 in Leupold bases and rings. Very close to new condition. I think I had the factory safety replaced with a three postion NULA safety. It would be fairly simple to put a remington safety back on it if a guy wanted it that way.
Make an offer if you're so inclined.

I don't have "one" of anything.
that is some funny sh**..... Actually, I do have some "ones", one GOD and one Wife. Smart man - capitalized "Wife". Obviously has his priorities straight. LipschitzWrath - As a LH for who nice rifles are all hard to come by,I would say the only time I felt like kicking myself in the A** is when I spent too much time mentally masturbating over a rifle and then it slipped away. You should grab it and then worry about the chips in the stock if it is that rare to find and it gets your wife a rifle she will like to shoot..... Just my 2 cents.

Just an update, several members have contacted me with rifles for sale and links to opportunities. I appreciate you guys helping me out with this.
I have had way better luck here at Campfire locating hard(er)-to-find rifles than on Arms List and Gun Broker.
Again, appreciate all the help!
