If you bought it as an investment with the intent of selling it for a profit after it gained value then don't shoot it. If you accomplished that inadvertently and the old girl just sat in the safe long enough to be worth a lot of money, then shoot her! Thats a mighty fine rifle and she longs to take blood. Go to Alaska and kill brownie with her or to Africa and kill a Buf! Kill something! Pre 64's are killin' machines... IMO way too many fine works of steel and wood like this one hide in the dark in the safe for years yearning to be free, begging to have a few pills thrown out of their throats at a big game animal, to breathe and wander the savanna or tundra as their owners chosen tool of trade... ok, sorry I'll turn off the "born free music" now.
