I started another thread in the General Discussion column about my first trip into a Cabela's. One part of the store that I found interesting was their "Gun Library". One gun in particular got my interest.
I have a rifle just like it. Same make, same model, same caliber, same everything. I could not believe the price on it.
The condition of my rifle is on par with their rifle as far metal, bore, and mechanics go. But their rifle's stock was in a bit better shape then mine. Here is my question.
If I get the stock of my rifle refinished, will it hurt its value? Should I leave it as is? Even if that makes my rifle's value 80 or 70 percent less I would be happy. But if I could get it to the same value i would be happier.
