Re: New vs Old 315 rifle
Hi Kamalsidhu007,
You are right to some extent, the older 0.315” rifles with 4 digit serial numbers are considered of good quality, the loading and extraction of cartridges is quite smooth in those rifles, my uncle has a 0.315” 1975 model it’s a pleasure to shoot, in my opinion go for a new iof .30-06” you will at least have better options regarding choice of ammunition and scope mounting options.
