Mike, that’s how I feel here. I am generally very careful about what I purchase, always with ROI in mind. However, this is my upland gun which I intend to use much and pass on. Thus, I’m OK with spending a little here to get what I want.
Very good point about the bluing. I’m no expert, just guessing. I ordered a 1” Pachmyer English style pad. I will have installed and hunt with the gun this year. After the season, I will decide what to do with the barrels. At the very least, I will have them touched up near the muzzles.
