[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 1903089, member: 14646"] So, I just bought another Remington 788 in .243. Gun is in fair shape but I love there little tack drivers. Fair condition because it has some light surface rust and the stock needs refinishing. Bore looks nice. For the $150 I paid ($100 worth of gift certificate) it will be a great candidate to refinish without the worry of screwing up a higher dollar gun. I will refinish the stock myself but will have a gunsmith do the Hot Bluing, etc. Question: where should I go with the finish? Don't know all what's out there but I want to most likely stay away from a shiny finish. What looks really good for a deer/varmit gun as far as the steel refinishing goes? Parkerizing, dura kote, matte-type bluing? I don't know much about the options and what is out there. It will be topped with a VX-2 3-9x40 in matte black. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
