Sweet gun, but if you don’t think you’ll use it, I’d sell it and use the proceeds to buy something you’ll actually shoot.
Occasionally, I rotate my collection like this. The stuff I never find myself shooting goes on Gunbroker and I buy new and exciting goodies with the money.

Overkill? No such thing.
Sore shoulder, too much for ammo? Valid reason to trade.

Ok, I’m going to send you an address and my FFL. Just take it straight UPS, bubble wrapped in a plain brown box. I’m happy to cover S&H.
There is no need for you to be troubled by that rifle for another minute.

Drive to Chicago and turn it in with one of their “gun buyback programs”
You could get a $50 gift card to a grocery store!
And make our streets safer!

The odds are small you will ever need/use it. Sell it and use for what you will need/use.

It is gorgeous but if you won’t shoot it, sell or trade to someone who hunts elk and moose, or is going on safari. Buy something in 30-06 or .308 that you will shoot like an M-1A.

Here is a chance for you to get into reloading, if you aren't already. It isn't expensive to get the basic stuff for one caliber from Lee Reloading. You could certainly load .300 Weatherby down to .30-06 or something similar that would be ideal for deer hunting, and you could enjoy experimenting with other lighter loads.
Something to think about in case the government shuts off ammunition supplies to citizens!
To: Hotmetal
You can bring the rifle to a firearms store and trade it for an equally valuable bolt action, or whatever action you prefer, in a chambering that you would more likely use for whitetail: .308, 30-06, .270, 30-30, etc.
Good Luck, again.

I'd recommend a swap at a gun shop for something more useful in your area. A “new in the box, never fired” rifle like this should attract more than a few buyers.
btw, as an indication of how nutty the gun biz has become; a local ad offers a Bushmaster AR 15 w/ 20 inch barrel for $1900 or best offer. A bit rich for me...
To: Hotmetal
Very nice rifle.
Re-mount the optics and verify no torque on the tube
ZERO it (both cold bore and warm) for any ammunition you can get (make a dope sheet out to 1000 yards)
Get as much ammunition as you can for it.
Hard case it with dehumidifier packs
KNOW that if you had to, you could reach out at long distance.
Sleep well.
Very nice rifle!

If you need the money, prices are peaking right now for everything.

It is probably a great time to sell, especially something like this that would be far less likely to end up on initial ban or restriction lists (and thus prices will drop when everything cools down).
