Getting a real one that doesn't underlap the face of the Walnut butt will be the real trick, since the factory shaped the stock with buttplate installed. Something you didn't need me to tell you. 

How good is the appearance of the replacement steel plate?  Does it look "original" -' i.e. fit accurately? Like it was professionally done?

I recall Venturino relating how he shattered a hard rubber buttplate on a subzero day in the mountains. He fell, the gun struck a rock in the snow, and the plate disintegrated. 

Not to tell you what to do with your own but, if the rifle were mine and the steel.plate looked factory and was a "correct" option for the gun, I'd hesitate to substitute a reproduction plastic plate. The present plate likely replaced a broken original part and the owner decided to make sure it didn't happen again. That would be a legitimate part of the gun's history. 

If the steel plate is unsightly, that's another matter.

And you do need to show pictures to your friends.

 Scope is SPF.

  

What is SPF?  Or is it a single focal plane?

SPF is the acronym for Sold Pending Funds

I am posting to find a Winchester 20 gauge -101- Cool XTR "lightweight" O/U.

My wife has a bad back so the size and weight is prefect for the upland hunt this fall.

Please contact me if you have one you would let go.

Thanks.
