If it's a firearm you enjoy and like to shoot, no shame in tasteful, well done modifications that make it easier to use/more effective in your hands. I think the only legitimate safe queens are heirloom guns/firearms with some major historical provenance. I always think of the guy who first bought that firearm many years ago. Did he baby it? Or was it a tool he used to fill the freezer? Besides, dings/dents/modifications help tell the stories of trips taken afield and memorable shots made with the rifle. So do that thing a favour and add to its history!

Have owned two model 94 Winchesters in the 1965 vintage and stupidly sold them both. These were a saviour for a southpaw.
My father will be gifting me his Marlin 336 Zane Grey Centennial in 30-30. Has a small amount of damage to the stock where the replacement rear sling swivel is, original one must have been ripped off accidentally in the past. Other than that it's in fine shape, he barely put 100rds through it since he bought it in 1972.
