I had a cousin who lived to be 104. He had some nice antique Winchester saddle guns that were stolen from his home. Someday, your heirs, or their heirs, will sell the rifle after you're dead and turn it into cash.
Read the Arabian Nights story about the man who cried when the huge store of gold he had jealously guarded was stolen from under his house. He was asked "Why are you crying? You never did anything with it anyway."
Your life is your window of time. Would your dad would want you to hunt with it, or just look at it and hold it like a rare coin investment.
I hunt with my grandfather's 7X57 Oberndorf Mauser with set trigger and Cape Buffalo butt plate. Had it glass bedded to make it shoot better. I feel like he goes with me when I hunt with it.
If you are more worried about its value as an asset, keep it in your safe and use your other guns.
