I was given one today that isn't quite in working order. It shoots fine, but fails to load and may not be extracting the spent round properly (When I did a test fire earlier today the spent shell ejected, but at home I can not get an already spent shell to do so manually, i.e. pulling the bolt handle back with a spent shell in the chamber)
Now, here's my question, how good of a gun is this? Is it worth having a gunsmith try and fix it or should I just get rid of it? It has no sentimental value or anything, but if it is a god gun I'd like to see about getting it fixed.
What would y'all do with this rifle?

Thanks
