Very interesting topic, my personal take on this would be an old pre MkII very nice 77 Ruger 6mm vs an early production 77/22. Looks like the 77/22 right now is worth more than the old 6mm. I did tell my son a while back that we were gonna be shooting 22's allot more these day's! Also how about a 39 Marlin vs a 336, or a 586 S&W vs a 17 S&W. If the materials used are similar the price can be very close, premium 22's have alway's been expensive, probably more to demand.
