If you have to ask, you’ll never know.
This sounds kind of catchy, and a bunch of folks have latched onto it, but in reality, when you don't know a thing, ASKING about it a proper path to understanding it. More correct would be "If you DON'T choose to ask, you'll never know." I think that response is a little off-putting, even to a grammatically challenged post.
That said, I agree with most everything else that has been said on a substantive level about why older rifles are better. I have 3 Pre-64s and they are heavenly to use.
BUT, I just have a hard time convincing my best friend, whose $300 Walmart Savage 6.5CM/Weaver Scope combo shoots sub MOA out of the box with Hornady GMX ammo that exceeds its stated velocity over my 35P, that "they just don't make 'em like they used to." I wouldn't be seen dead with that rifle. But I might be dumb. Heck, we all might be...
Cheers,
Rex
