Buy another one and use it for a while. Switch back to the oem with character later.

My father bought me a wood 7600 in 89’. I bought a composite set 10 or so yrs ago and switch between the 2 periodically. I can remember the 4wheeler bumps and climber scrapes on the oem and think on them fondly.

I’ve sanded many a 700’s with decreasing grit paper with no issues. Just go easy with and with the grain and stay away from the checkering.
