I think people like the whole 'original' thing, and to be honest, I do too.
The thing is, how do we measure quality? Modern machines regardless of where the machine is situated in the world can produce highly accurate rifles as parts will be made to exact specs. On the other hand we can look at old Rigby rifles that was definitely not remembered for their accuracy (meaning that parts was not made that precise) but were hand made and is supposed to be what some see as top quality. Which of the two is better quality then?
I am one of those people that would rather tinker with an 'original' rifle and make it more or less as accurate as something modern (it is kind of rewarding)
