Why worry howthe rifle looks. If it shoots good put a new scope on it and use it the way it is. I have my dads old Marlin .30/30 that he bought in 59 and put a Bushnell Banner scope on it. There are better scopes out now and the stock has a lot of stratches on it but I use it just the way it is. I have other rifles to use but I like to take it out and use it.
