I have plenty of rifles, so it is not like I will not kill a deer this year without it. I do enjoy shooting it none the less.
Whether you choose to shoot your rifle is a personal decision. I can understand your attachment to the rifle and desire to shoot it. Under the circumstances, I would recommend that you shoot it as is with the original stock. If, however, you find yourself desiring to shoot it regularly and often, I recommend that you acquire an arsenal-overhauled rifle for that purpose so as to preserve your original rifle.

Hope this helps. Good Luck!
