One lousy (in your estimation) story and you'll never read the magazine again? There are other opinions out there ya know. Like mine for instance I think a pre 64 is a cool looking sculpture of metal and a pretty good action but when its go time I'd choose a mk11 Ruger. If I had a pre 64 I'd sell it not my cup of tea. And I think about all readers understand the age difference of the two rifles no? What's wrong with comparing something old to something new? Ah well these first world problems can be troublesome I guess.
