Hi John,
I put my own name ( US$25.00 factory option/done up ) on both my Riffes. The idea is that since all my gang uses the same Riffes, we don't get confused which is whose. It is no fun checking whose gun it is if there are like at least 6 of the same kind/model all rigged the same.
If one day I loose a gun during some sort tug-of-war with a fish, who knows some fisherman will try to locate me and return me my gun..........OK.....for a decent reward.

Why didn't I put my phone nuber too...:duh
Also since a teak stock Riffe is like a piece of fine furniture and need oiling all the time, it is not so "comfortable" for me to place stickers here and there. So the factory "Burnt-in" option to put a name is better. Some of my friends placed their nicknames.
BTW, where are u located ? Ur posting time indicated that u r probably not in the US mainland.
Cheers,
IYA
