I have the same gun and would leave it alone. The wear on a turkey gun tells stories of the mileage walked and turkeys harvested.

It would be tough to do. I have the same gun. I did however give mine a coat of flat clear coat. It seems to have help prevent further wear.

If I would have only known to buy up those original Bottomland and Greenleaf 870's 11-87's along with Bob Dixon vests.

Just think. Some piece of turkey hunting gear that is readily available today will be hard to come by 25 years from now. Should I go out and buy a V3 turkey pro?

Better wait until they offer it in original Bottomland or Greenleaf

If we only knew......

Wanted to mention something I learned the hard way, but not bad. I am a lefty shooter, I carry my gun with sling on left shoulder. I noticed some very minor scratches on the camo on my SBE in similar areas that your gun had the scratches. So I had my wife look at the gun while I had it on my shoulder, she noticed it was rubbing against a plastic strap buckle on my vest. It definitely was rubbing the gun when I walked, and eventually would have worn through the camo. I put some rubber tape around the buckle,  problem solved. Shared this in case anyone sees similar scratches on their guns. Be safe, enjoy....
