[Bofire]

Leave the factory stock alone, bed the gun into a good stock, H & S precision, Blue it if you must. that way if you want you can always go back stock.

Here are the pics of mine.  Classic Precision was able to steam most of the dents out, what he couldn't steam out he filled and re-cut the checkering.  He then glass bedded the barrel.  I know it "ruined" the value of the rifle, but like you I am not collecting this rifle, it will be used, I have already promised it to my son.
