Yes, thats right! You might find that leaving the scars and scatches brings back memories and that you end up leaving them.

jstevensI like to hunt with them all, no safe queens in my house. They look better after a few bumps, bruises and a bit of honest wear. That really is a classy appearing rifle, now go get it dusty and kill something with it.

kududePhoenix,
Beautiful rifle. Sure is too bad that it is in a totally inadequate caliber. If you want to get rid of it because of this failing, please PM me. LOL Kudude

That is a beautiful piece of wood. Can you imagine your first Kudu with it and the first thorn scratches, Yeah baby, you'll remember that hunt forever.
I am with you Phoenixdawg build it shoot it and add some character to it as well, chips, cratches and dust, just a gun.
Good luck and good hunting.
