Thanks Dan I appreciate it...Mike

Hi Top,

Yeah, mine has a light satin finish but that sounds like a good-looking rifle.

If the price is right it might be worth grabbing unless you are looking for a collector item.

dan,
happy new years. I read with your interest your posts on the winchester 490. I came across one yesterday that was beautiful but I am suspcious because the walnut stock has a high dark luster. All the pics on the net seem to show a satin light walnut stock and i was wondering what your experience has been with seeing in person model 490s? This was an early one J00XXXX, so it is possible that things changed with time etc. It was produced in Canada..and has the plastic buttstock cap and the metal winchester plate. Thanks for any comment/advice.
