As an example of what I just posted, this Champlin and Haskins Len Brownell 7RM was obtained used. It had been hunted, but not abused. I've posted it before.

I enjoy it, the wear and tear just adds character. One like this I don't mind using, just don't abuse it. It shoots greats, prefers lighter bullets and is easy on the eye. Pictures show some dings and wear, still in pretty good shape.

It's easier to use one like this. It's like a new pickup. It's that first ding or scratch that hurts the most. I drive my 2011 Z-71, don't worry about a scratch, ding to two. Same deal here. Plus I don't like all the electronic gadgets on the new trucks, gonna drive this one another 100K miles, it has just 111K now.
