Semi; you forgot to say whether or not you bought any bh209? I'm quite sure those x/7s shoot that new powder very accurately!!
(Sorry Bronko.)

Traitor - that's all I got to say about that. Well you may as well go by that can of BH209 as long as you're at it.
Aww what the heck as long as you got it - hope it shoots well for you.

I have done the wet rag and iron thing and it works on solid wood stocks, not sure how it would do on a laminated one. I suspect if the laminate is good the dent would just about disappear without any damage to the laminate.

Great deal on that rifle, congrats.
I've never done it but I have a friend that uses a damp rag and a clothes iron to raise dings in wood stocks. Depending on how deep it is you may be able to bring it back up to level, then just touch it up a bit and it'll be almost like new. Or leave as is for character.

Keith,
I was amazed at how a stock my friend did came out, the dings were almost gone on an old Winchester stock that had been used for many years and had the scars to prove it. I'm sure there is probably some place to find info on the proper way to do it. I may have to look that one up for future reference.

I found this, it's about furniture but the basic idea is the same.

RE: My LAST In-line - I Swear!
I'd leave it the way it is.. that makes the rifle unique. After all it only makes sense that someone semisane has a dingy rifle too. As long as it shoots straight.
I really would not get concerned. After two seasons in the woods if that's the only mark it has, your doing well.
