I have what appears to be a Belgian-made Browning Safari bolt action in .30-06 (#7L 42xxx), The metal & bore are "perfect", but the stock has quite a few dings, dents, & scratches (acquired on an Alaska hunt decades ago).
I had an almost identical rifle, except in .243 cal. and a "perfect" stock - gave that one to my son.
Both guns were inherited from a dear family friend, a WWII "Hump" pilot who passed away recently at age 97.
Both rifles had Tasco scopes, but son replaced his with a Leopold or some other premium brand.
I've read something about many of these guns' stocks having a "salt" problem. What is that?
