Selling the SMLE Sporter isn't an option...that's always going to be Papaw's gun. I'm just deciding whether my money is better spent on a new gun or more ammo & components for the one I have now. I already have a bolt-action .22lr (Romanian understudy for the SMLE) and plan to get a 10-22 eventually.

Nothing against the AR rifles, but I never cared for them. If I'm going to carry a rifle, I tend to prefer bolt- & lever-action rifles. Just old-fashioned, I guess....
