I would like to thank all who responded here. There have been some realy neat rifles described and pictured. They bring back lots of memories.

While I have nothing against the later and more sophisticated rifles of today it has been great fun for me to see all the older classics still in use today still getting the job done. I agree with what some have already posted that optics of today are superior to those fifty years ago but rifles, not nearly as much.

Many thanks


Larry
