As long as you don't have uneven wear on the locking lugs, and no obvious bubba gunsmithing to it... why not? Most hunting rifles barely get shot, particularly magnums.


I will always be an advocate of the Remington 700, but their entry level rifles these days are really disappointing. If you're going to do it, spend the money on a BDL or Sendero. Breaks my heart to say it, but if you're staying in the lower price bracket and want something new, look at Savage.
