I would have to say thou I owned a lot of rifles over the years. I kept three out of the some 60 I owned when I paired down some years back. I would have to say the $ 400 dollars I paid for a Styer Mannlicher Model M Professional in 7 x 57 back in 1975 was by far the best money I ever spent on a rifle- I had it for almost 38 years and it still shoots as well as the day I bought it, It wears a newer 6 x 42 mm Leupold on it right now, I planning to buy new rings and bases this year and up grade the scope to a Leica 2.5-10x42. That is the reason for new rings and bases. Warne's .
