    I guess being attracted to older rifles maybe the story they tell, but also the fine material and workmanship that allowed them to stand the test of time.
    Don’t be distracted from buying something quality more recent and creating your own stories.
    Yes, I am not opposed to new rifles. In other hobbies like music I have bought both new and old guitars etc. both have their merit.
    With rifles though, you can find beautiful old gems for a lot less than a brand new comparable rifle which also adds to the appeal.
    I really like old BRNO and BSA stuff.
