I've got a 788 from the 70s. The 788 was a budget version of the 700. Plain bolt handle, and completely uncheckered and undecorated stock. The varnish was getting gummy and coming off, so I refinished it. It looks better'n it did before, but you definitely wouldn't mistake it for a factory finish.
I know the basic action is the same as that of a 700 from that era.
So I'm wondering if I could pick up a stock for a 700 somewhere and freshen up the old girl?
I'm hoping there's someone here old enough to remember them. If not, can you take a look at the pix and let me know if it looks the same?
