It would certainlay be foolish to take a pristine, collectable rifle out to get banged around, especially if it was a big investment in your eyes. The rifles pictured here though are meant to be used, shot, hunted, and given reasonable care afterward. I'm careful with all my guns in the field, not just the pretty ones, but they get rained and snowed on and bang into my binoculars occasionally. It's inevitable that they're going to pick up a few dings. Don't sweat it, they're tools.
