That's a real nice gun Scott. You're gonna have to figure out what works best for you on the shoot/don't shoot topic. We all have an opinion. For me I used to collect and had a bunch of unfired boxed guns. It was neat for a while and I enjoyed it but eventually grew out of that phase. Now there is nothing in the gun world so sacred or valuable that I will not hunt with or shoot. I am careful and I avoid the rain. I always take a modern gun on hunting trips for those rainy days and it works for me. So far I have not marred any of mine to any extent at all really. If that gun or any other had been in my family I would have to keep it. I have some of Dads old guns that I may never shoot again but I will keep them and hand them down in some fashion. Enjoy it and welcome aboard !
