I don't think enough people read RIFLE SHOOTER to make any real difference.
Great rifles, but it is too hard to beat the value of a modern T3 these days.
In fact, by the time I get my Model 50 30-06 completely squared away to my liking, I could have bought a new T3 and had a good bit of $$ left over. Then again, practicality is not the reason most of us buy old rifles (if we were honest).
