There a a few exceptions but most budget rifles are cheap because they are built cheaply with inferior junk parts. I own one such rifle. It shoots good but otherwise it’s ugly and built cheaply.
I would rather have 2 or 3 heirloom quality rifles than 3 safes full of junk budget rifles. Even if I had to save a couple extra months for a quality rifle/scope.
When you hit what you aim at, where you aim at...does NOT matter if its an heirloom when actually shooting.
Nice to own beautiful, valuable or hard-to-acquire, well cared for firearms, however.
