Thats a nice rifly and I would leave it exactly as it is. Over here they are making £1,500 to £2,000 in that sort of condition. I certainly wouldn't try and refinish the stock - the odd ding, knock all just add charachter and have a story to tell. They generally shoot pretty well and certainly more than accurate enough for 95% of hunting requirements. No you are not going to shoot clover leaf sized groups rapidly all day long, but will happily put a bullet through the vitals of any animal you choose to shoot at any sort of reasonable range.

The tang safety is a nice addition - probably not the original. The twin set triggers are horrible when unset, and too light for hunting purposes (cold hands etc) when set - although tey do look nice.
