Did you buy the rifle to shoot or to sell again? You will be missing out on a great opportunity to enjoy the rifle to is fullest if you are just a timid admirer from a distance. Take photo's of the thing, unwrap it and shoot it. The rifle isn't mint and unfired. It was cleaned, packaged and delivered to your address. What are you waiting for? What's wrong with you? Step up to the plate and swing the bat. Play ball or get off of the field and let somebody play. If you aren't going to shoot it, then sell it as it is and be done with it. It was not made to be a Safe Queen.
