I appreciate the compliment , as I get older I appreciate the rifles of my youth even more.Like me they aren't making any more of them.
I don't shoot matches I hunt and plink mostly , target shoot just for fun and have no desire to tote a heavy target gun around .
I've had a number of Remington T's and S's still have a 541T hb it usually stays in the safe
I enjoy that 521 because it' a accurate as a 513T or my 541T without the weight and a bolt action shoots Cee Bees ,shorts, longs & long rifles without a hiccup ,
so I can shoot the damn squirrels eating my pecans in my suburban backyard , and pop the head off a panhandle prairie dog at 200yds with the same gun.
I positively love my old Nylon 66 that was a gift for my 9th birthday , it's perfect for running rabbits and weighs next to nothing so it's easy for an old man like me to tote all day.
Can't say I blame you for not picking those 2 up , $800 plus is a little steep.
when a 22 gets up in that neighborhood I usually just add a little more and buy or build another FAL or M1A , it seems I'm always collecting parts for them anyways.
Hang the bitch , because simply fading away shouldn't be an option
