their shotguns last forever and give very few issues.
first rifle could be better off with a 2nd hand one for less price and spend the difference on decent scope (read Leopold)
there are heaps of good quality older rifles around that still have plenty going for them,depending on what you wanting to shoot a good solid 2nd hand rifle might be all you require and it will never be a bad purchase as even if you do decide later to buy something else new the experience you have gained will teach you what you want and need in a rifle and the old girl can be a spare.
