I have realized as I've gotten a little older how much I enjoy collecting and shooting old target rifles. The saying that they dont make them like they used to seems readily apparent when handling the old guns compared to newer offerings. I have a Steven's 416 coming my way in a week or so. And I've been getting a twitch for a BSA martini. The newer guns just seem to be lacking class.
I do appreciate the older high quality guns a lot and I think you'll love a nice Martini. Personally, I'm not really a collector but more of a shooter. I find that my preference is toward newer technology and I'm always looking for a small improvement over what we have always done and how we do it. It's still amazing how some of the old stuff shoots and you're right...the new stuff generally just doesn't have the same feel of a well made old treasure.
