OK, then I am sticking with my original opinion. The new owner of the Citori
will have a few minor dings in the finish! It will stay as is.
Thanks for the clarification, and I had heard that these finishes were a double
b____ to remove, sounds like it is true. The "getting it out of the checkering"
was the final spike in that idea!
I may someday do the Rem 700, as the comb butcher job is only slightly better than
literally done with a hatchet (somehow the previous owner needed to remove about
1/2" from the front edge of the comb? With a wood chisel or similar tool and NO
touchup afterwards.) The rifle shoots very well, but I have just left the comb damage
due to the issues with that "bulletproof" finish. As long as I don't touch it, I can
claim that it isn't my fault. As soon as I tackle it, it becomes my work and I am
fairly picky, so it will have to be done right, and the time was never right. ;-)
