If you had a pre-64 (1952) Winchester Model 70, 30-06 that was tapped for a scope but had the original metal butt plate would you put a nice cushy pad on it? Would you get rings and scope it? Would you then go ahead and start hunting with it? BTW, it's not in pristine condition but it is original, functional and still looks decent (not a museum piece by any stretch of the imagination but still decent).
