You know, I've hunted elk with a 70's "classic" Weatherby Mark V Rifle out here for well over 20-years now, white-line spacers and all. (It was a used, relatively inexpensive left-hander 30-caliber Magnum when I need just exactly that). It clearly screams it's era when you see it but... recently (last few years) when other hunters see it on the trail or in the parking lots, they seem to be mildly reverent. It sure doesn't look like all the other guns I see out there (plastic, parkerized, etc.) When I do my part, it does it's part & the freezer stays full. I bead-blasted the finish so is isn't so shiny but otherwise...
