If you choose to hunt it, do so with pride and your heirs will appreciate it and its value far beyond your time. I have a "few" I want to leave to my family and friends, but I never worry about the value after I'm gone. I like that sling, too .. even if it's been chewed up by a little tree bark..

I still shoot irons on some of my classics as I would never drill and tap an unmolested original. I have a 1949 vintage Model 75 Sporting that has it's original Lyman peep and do ok but that front sight is kind of fuzzy. Nice 75!!
