Huvius,

I'm leaning towards having the barrels rebrowned since I really like the look of Damascus barrels that are properly finished. I'm also tempted to put a leather covered recoil pad in it. I know that the Silvers pad is correct but the one currently on this rifle is a replacement and I think that it really detracts from the look. I just don't like that orange color--looks too twentieth century to me. That's one thing that can easily be undone if a future owner doesn't like it. Also, a softer pad can be put under leather and that will be a big improvement!

Regards,

Jim
