Nice rifle gm. Good find. Purely a matter of taste, the only thing missing for me is side panels. I have a few pre-WWII and pre-WWI German sporters....what can a fella say? They're about the epitome of bolt action sporting rifles. The 8 X 60 is just more of a good thing! I have a Christoph Funk barreled action in that cartridge that I should really have stocked, correct to period.

Another "matter of taste", I'd leave it as it is....but boy, they DO SHINE when restored to period.
