Most of the rifles I have are "obsolete" in many modern shooter's eyes. I just like the feel and look of older rifles. I had to shoot M16s every year for qualifications and I never did like them or their civilian cousins the AR platform. They shoot OK, but I just hate the way they feel and the big BOING that travels from my jaw up to my ears. Give me wood and steel any day. Some of the most fun I have had shooting as a younger fellow, was with an old single shot .22. It makes you slow down and pay attention.....not to mention ammo seems to last longer.
