    Target shooting ONLY is my need.

    I passed your age a few yrs ago Aragorn 243.
    Savage, one of the dealers I have been looking at sells mainly modern Savages.
    A friend bought a 17HMR stainless savage 8 yrs ago and had always had problems, mainly feed ones. They did make very good No 4s during the war. It is now part of ATK.
    I do prefer olde arms for many reasons,
    but feel I need a modern gun, my eyes are not what they were
    and any advantage I can get is a help.
    I still keep looking at a winchester M70 SPR, just like the feel, it is just right,
    but Winchester is now part of F.N. and therefore it will be done right.
    I dont normaly add U.S. guns to my collection, I do have a in 95 30 30 classic Browning design and
    an M1icon Garand that was hidden away with a K98icon since the war so is just untouched un is a faceanating piece of history. These have been my exceprions.
