[QUOTE="HRstretch, post: 1214033, member: 7480"] When I inherited my Dad's guns I laied them out on a table and brought the family in and after I pulled the gun I wanted to remember him by, I let my sisters kids pick what they wanted. The only stipulation was if they got hard up for money and needed to sell the gun, they had to come to me our my sisters to sell it. My dads guns were tools and all were told to use them however they wanted just remeber the history. The gun I kept was an old Remington 700 ADL 270. My dad had put a new Boyd's thumb hole stock and he messed with that gun for years trying to get it to shoot better. When I got it I spent days cleaning the barrel of years of copper and powder fowling, then I bedded the stock that was so loose a fit, that there was no way his POI could have stayed the same. Now it shoots great and I only had wished I had done this for him and let him enjoy his gun before he died. Long story short, get the barrel clean, check the bedding, replace the scope and re-coil pad and enjoy hunting with your brothers gun. [/QUOTE]
