I have rifles made 60 years ago, and I have rifles made last year. We like to talk about the "old" stuff, and how much better it was, and how those rifles are so much better than today's "junk." But, today's "junk" has the benefit of more precise tolerances and better metal than yesterday's guns. I have some old rifles that shoot very good, but I have some new rifles that shoot better.


Absolutely, if they wanted to they could put older made rifles and shotguns to shame. The only thing that would be missing is the quality of wood used in the old guns and the guys that could work on that stuff.
