Good evening,
I'm looking to have two rifles refinished...a Browning BAR and a Ruger M-77. Both rifles shoot great, but look a little on the "shot hard and put up wet" side (both were bought recently in this condition).
I'm looking for suggestions from y'all as to refinishing options. I'd like to have something a little more maintenance-free than blueing, but still classy. I'm planning to put synthetic stocks on both rifles, as the climate here in north central Texas is a bit variable - I hunted last week in the morning in sleet at 25 degrees and the same afternoon in sunshine and 70 degrees. Gotta love it!
I'm not at all opposed to a really good park job, but I would like it to be well done. And money IS an object, but I'm willing to pay for a first rate job.
Any ideas? As always, thanks!
Buck
