Being in like new and unmolested condition is not this rifle. It has been molested just by the simple act of it being handled. Handling the rifle also deposits oils from your skin onto the furniture disrupting the clarity of the wood. Unmolested would be defined as still being in wrap and in cosmoline...

That is a very nice looking rifle. I wish I could say I am a collector, but I'm more of a rescue kind of guy. If I buy them, I will want to shoot them... thus instantly reducing the value.

guaranteed if I ever got one in wrap it would be unwrapped in a heartbeat. I'm not running a museum.

Thanks, me too. It takes a while though you have to build it up slowly. Traditional oil finish applied by the classic method of once a day for a week, once a week for a month, once a month for a year, once a year for life. That comes out to 28 coats over 5 years!
