The rifle is a piece of art and I wouldn't consider shooting it or hunting with it. Things can happen. Here is an example below. 99DL, 284. I tripped over a rock covered in snow and landed on the rock with the rifle between me and it. I can't run the risk of doing damage to something as important as this rifle. I wouldn't be keeping the trust Ron Coburn extended to me.

The lever has some really great case coloring. Now it's damaged.
