That's a nice rifle - shame about the barrel. Try the Tubbs polish and see it it helps.
The actions are fine, but the stocks are the weak link. They have a tendency to crack in the wrist. I don't think you will have a problem with the 256, but it is very common in the 30 and 35.
Keep us posted. I have one on a 98 Mauser action, but have yet to shoot it as it needs wood.
