Mmm...

I should add, the gun will get used. I go in rain, snow or shine and so will the gun. The gun will be wiped down and have a patch pushed thru the bore from time to time, but in a year it will have the blue worn off the edges and there will be unavoidable scratches and dings in the stock. I'm not a total clod, but spills and falls are the nature of things and the gun will show use after a time, so no "art pieces" or "investment" guns. I just refinished my Husky Model 146 9.3x57 stock AGAIN. It needed it, and it wasn't even carried the whole past year...

Here might be another idea---really inexpensive and with the right ammo the 30-30 would work fine for elk,deer, bear or anything else you would run in to, especially if your shots are 200 years or less. Agree it is ugly as sin.. but have actually used them before --the rifle shot fairly accurate..

Much cheaper than a drilling but the drilling is far more desirable..
