It is hard to imagine a reason that would cause me to buy a new production firearm when there are old production rifles available. Better fit and finish, big price difference, etc. Even if you get it refinished or you miss a small problem and have to have a gunsmith do a little work on it you are probably money ahead.
I think most of the new rifles are more accurate than the old ones, but I wouldn't buy a 30-30 for a target gun.
