For those of you who remember, I've been browsing around for a bolt action rifle for some time now. I have no experience with bolt guns, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. I have it narrowed down to two choices. One is an old springfield that has been rebarreled and restocked, action is excellent, but barrel and stock need some work. I could have a new barrel installed and redo the stock myself for not too much money.OR, I could buy a new production gun, remington, savage, ruger, etc. Like I said before, I have no experienc with bolt guns, but the srpingfield seemed better crafted, more "solid" and the bolt worked much smoother, whereas the new commercial guns I handled all seemed fairly cheesy. Am I right in assuming that the springfield would be a better choice? I really dont know anything about them, but just going by feel, thats the way I'm leaning.
