[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2313115, member: 1951"] Well, I take a crack at it….If the rifle was put away clean and dry, it is likely ready to hunt. If it was wet or dirty, it may have some rust or pitting that needs looked at. If you have any concern, a local gunsmith could check it out for like $50-$100. In general guns store very well for 20 years. The scope’s age will be more apparent. You just have to look through it and shoot through it to see if it is ok. Try looking through it on a rest and twisting the turrets. Is it moving the reticle? This will be the hardest part. Get 100-200 rounds of 30-06…same box and start dialing in for hunting. Walmart near me had this much 30-06. [/QUOTE]
