I have a 1980 181 Series and I love it. It is not a 1 MOA rifle, not did I ever expect it to be. It is tons of fun to shoot, walnut stocked, in pristine condition and I've got a total of $500 in it. It has never FTF'd for any reason. What's not to like?
I had a 181 series as well (1978 IIRC?) that was similar. I never scoped it, but it was as accurate as I was with iron sights, basically a little better than minute of soda can at 100 yards. I never had any malfunctions with either factory or handloads, and enjoyed shooting it.
Obviously others have much poorer experiences with them, but I'd be happy to have that one back again. My ARs are all more accurate, but it doesn't have to be a Chevy vs Ford thing; I don't mind owning both.
