That’s character. Ain’t no way I would refinish it.
I have a Model 7 .243 that I got for Christmas when I was 8 years old.
It has a ton of scuffs & scratches on the stock and most of the bluing is worn off the trigger guard & bottom metal.
I still carry it more than any other rifle I own.
I wish I knew how many deer and hogs that I have killed with it.
Probably well over 100 of each. I know there was on season that I killed 16 or 17 deer.
It has also been loaned out to numerous friends for their kids and has killed several first deer.
