My personal view is that firearms are not for collecting and sitting in glass case exhibition gun racks. They are for using, even if only occasionally.

If my eyesight precluded open sights, thankfully I still can use them, ff the mounts, say QD mounts, can be added in a tasteful way I would do it.

What a grand calibre to use in Alaska too ! Equivalent to the .338/06 but a true classic.

If the value of the rifle was severely reduced I would reconsider but it's what value to you the rifle has that is most important.
