Would a buyer be convinced.

If it really is unfired I would keep it that way.

Better yet, sell it and buy one that will not go down in value from shooting it.
As I have already said, all I am going on is the original owners word and it's appearance. There is no ring on the bolt face (photo on page 2) and the loading ramp is not scratched up.

If I shoot it, which I am leaning that way, how can it take the value down that much if any, really?
