If you want to do a bit more serious target shooting, have a look at ex club rifles. Lots of Anschutz 1407 and Walthers around. Most of them the barrels are still in pretty good shape.
i bought a 1960's Walther KKM from a clubmate for $300, re-crowned it and put it into a stock that matches my FTR fullbore rifle. It shoots the wings of a fly :-)
Experiment and find what flavour of ammo your rifle likes.
