Should I Buy Stock to Shoot M24SWS

Ok, I realize this may be bad form being that we are all Savage lovers; but this is a special circumstance. We all know Remington's quality has diminished severely over the years and I will never buy a new production rifle from them for as long as I own firearms. However, I just picked up the M24SWS that was built during their M24 Rebuild Program. Now I want to shoot it since it's a new barrel and action but since the stock has so much war patina and wear from operations abroad; should I replace the stock so I don't damage the authentic sniper wear and tear?

Haha. Nice find!!!

I'd shoot it in honor of those who carried it! That's what they would want!

What LW said...why put it in a different stock when you have a fantastic package as is...awesome rifle!!

Shoot it.

Use it - don't abuse it...
