I would take it out and enjoy it. Save your cash and don't buy the extra stock,Howling Raven magazine extension and bipod. I think you will fall in love the rifle. With the saved cash, add to it and find yourself a nice 91/30. Happy shooting!

The great thing about this one Gordon is that you have already owned it and kept it unmolested for 20 years, and continuing in that way will be wise. Shooting it is fine, and even if it reduced some future value by a small percentage isn't being able to enjoy it worth such a small cost. It has probably multiplied in value since you bought it by a factor of 3 or more.
