A few years ago I came into possession of my father's .270 which had been "loaned" by my grandmother to my uncle (dad's brother in law) after dad went to flight training in 1955.
My uncle never took it deer hunting and it had been in several closets over the decades. My uncle lives in Colorado now so dad asked him to surrender the rifle to me. (He did. No fuss :-)
A good cleaning and oiling and now I have a barely used Remington 721 in .270 with a Lyman peep sight. Dad had to carve the stock a bit to accommodate the peep sight.
