I wouldn't have either, unless they were a gift. If they were given to me I'd sell them off asap. Then put the money raised into buying good quality single shot rifles that I could shoot.
Lets be honest, they are exhibition pieces that deserve to be in a museum, and displayed as a tribute to the artists in metal and wood who worked on them. They aren't shooting rifles and probably were never intended to be.
I don't mind a little discrete metal scratching and some neat checkering, but fancy wood carving and 32 lpi checkering simply isn't practical on any rifle used for hunting or on the target range. If you don't own a rifle for one or both of the reasons mentioned in the last sentence what the heck do you want a rifle for?
