I have one of these that I threaded for a suppressor. The exact same ultimate shadow version in 7mm-08. I have bought and sold various other rifles but tend to find myself coming back to it. Maybe it's just superstition, but for some reason I take more animals with this than my other rifles. It's my goldilocks rifle - not too unwieldy for bush yet still capable of ringing a gong at 400m consistently. It's better built than a Howa yet not too precious to take out into the field and get dirty.
What would I do in your case? Probably consider an aftermarket stock and ceratoke so it's looks pretty again. That's my plan once mine deteriorates cosmetically enough to justify it.
