All day long. What kind of history do you want to pass on to your son? “Here son. This is yours now. Keep it in the gun safe and don’t ever scratch it”. So yes, use and take care of it. No matter how hard you try sooner or later your gonna scratch it. May as well be sooner.Last edited by Hogmauler; 04-12-2021, 04:19 AM.

I have my Dad's old Browning BAR in 270. It's a gorgeous gun that he took really good care of, and it's got some rounds through it but you'd never know it just looking at it. I hunt with it a few times every year and have killed a few deer with it. I think it'd be cool for you to take it....just keep it in a case and be careful with it. I was almost scared to hunt with this one when I first inherited it, but find myself using it more and more as the years go by. It's hard to explain, but definitely a connection to him when I carry it. I enjoy hunting with it now.

I would hunt with it in the right situation without a doubt. A stand or vehicle type hunt were I carried it in a soft case to and from..
I would not take it on an Elk hunt, or any other hunt, where its stands a decent chance of getting banged or scratched.. Damaging it would make me sick..
Just my 2 cents...
The deep, high shine, bluing on those old Finnbears is second to none... Best I've ever seen..Last edited by PondPopper; 04-12-2021, 07:06 AM.

Not sure why everyone thinks something will happen to it hunting in the mountains, haven't had any issues in years.
Take it and hunt with it, who will get it after you ? Do you think it will have great sentimental value to them ?
As a hunter I want my rifles to hunt, not sit in a safe.
Memories made with that rifle will last you a lifetime.
