Thread: Help please.

So I bought this .22lr off trademe for shooting 200m, I had the idea when pissing around in the back paddock and measured out 200m one time that put a thought in my head about shooting that range with my .22lr marlin I already had. I went out the day after since there was no wind but the scope on it was crap 4x32mm tasco and couldn't see the target, so i was just shooting at the middle of the white paper i had the target drawn on and no hits so I went to sight it in for that but then thought nah it will be better if I just get another one, so I did. Any way that went off the main point, This gun I got off trademe didn't show the real condition of the stock and so when I go home next I am planning on stripping off the camo off and redoing it with linseed oil, I saw half a large bottle left in dads shed. Any way all that for a little and probably silly question, do I have to use a wax sealer or anything to put over it? Also going to re blue the barrel, I done it to my 6.5x55 and it looked alright and I have some stuff left to do my .22lr so yeah, I don't think its good bluing but it looks good so what the hell. I'm still learning.


You can see it rubbed off towards the bottom, I don't have any photos of the bottom but its much worse you can see the wood.
