I've got the chance to get a Remington 700 ADL synthetic stock with blued finish, along with what I a guessing is a cheap bushnell scope. This would be my first rifle. Rifle would probably not be used a ton, because I prefer the bow, but I do want a rifle and was told the remington 700 is a good choice. I want something that will last awhile. I messed with the bolt, seems to cycle ok, little rough but not bad. The only thing I don't like is the stock, feels really plasticy if that makes since. Could it be painted and then a clear coat applied to help it. Thank you in advance for you opinions. Oh yeah forgot to mention it's a 30.06 and brand new
