I am bringing this post back up with another question.
As I said earlier, I inherited this gun from my dad who was meticulous about his guns (competitive bullseye handgun shooter, high power rifle and skeet). I did not know he even had this gun until he died. The box had a note "unfired" and his original receipt.
I am not a collector, in fact I'm primarily a traditional/primitive bowhunter but I enjoy shooting firearms including some other guns I inherited. Now this "unfired" note is bugging me. Am I being stupid to just shoot it? My dad must have thought "unfired" was important but I hate to see it just sit around and eventually passed on to my four daughters who have zero interest in it other than Grandpa owned it.
Am I better off selling it and getting something else that I would feel better about shooting? I've got my eye on a couple of others: SW 686+, maybe a big .44 mag revolver to carry on my dream hunt: Alaskan moose with a bow.
