First impressions. Great metal-wood finish. The finish sucks. The action is smooth and feels awesome.
Can't wait to shoot it.

What caliber 3030, 4570? The finish on the stock is an easy fix. Def. Keep us posted to your range session.

LOL...yep, that combination of Brazilian mystery wood and third world varnish just don't cut it does it? But as AK says, that's an easy fix.

Hope she serves ya well. My r92 is, crappy finish and all.

Congrats..... the 30-30 has dropped more than deer then most want to admit. I have the 45-70 and love it.
