That is exquisite. Very much to my liking. The grain flow in the stock, on both sides, is just about perfect, structurally, for a hard kicking rifle and just great for any rifle.

Wonderful rifle!
I’m looking for rings of this pattern if there’s any out there...

This will be a very difficult decision to arrive at. Either leave exactly as it is, or cleaned etc to the point of as best one can get out of refurbishing rather than a full restoration job.
Considering Ahmed's battery, those are new rifles - this one is a different generation & will have history; another 'breed' altogether.
Might be a job for Mr D...I think he would definitely be up to the task!

The only thing I would do to that rifle cosmetically is to put more wear from heavy use on the wood and bluing! Outstanding rifle!

This is a beautiful rifle.

I really like those mounts, and how they leave the front receiver ring untouched.
