So in 40 years how many folks who bought those rifles are going to be handing them down to their children and grandchildren.. as Grandpa's hunting rifle...

no matter how good they shoot or are able to be bounced around.. they are still disposable...

I have to laugh at the guys I see at the range with a Leupold mounted on top.. so I ask them why did they put a good scope on a cheap rifle, instead of say a Tasco scope...

Then their response is " I don't want one of those cheap POS scopes..." but I guess a cheap plastic rifle is perfectly fine..

Makes no sense to me...

Myself, I'd prefer a cheap pawn shop Mauser or older Win, Ruger or Rem... for roughly the same price...or even occasionally the nice find of a Springfield or an Enfield...
