About to pay full odds for one of these in 500NE for big game rifle club shooting. I can't physically inspect the rifle.

Cabelas assures me that the rifling hasn't been adulterated "as far as (they) could tell".

My other concern is the grain of the stock. It seems to flow up into the tang rather than through the grip.

Any thoughts?
