RE: If money was no object
If money were no object I'd simply have my Ithaca LSA65 redone to like new condition.
It's as nice as I could ever want or need. This rifle fits so well it seems impossible to miss with, and I cant recall ever letting a deer escape while useing it.
It was severly damaged in a house fire 30 years ago and destroyed the stock finish and also ruined the bluing on the metal. The gunsmith my insurance insisted I use to repair my guns really screwed me over and it hasn't been the same since, shoots great but looks like hell !
