Yeah. As I said, a lot less choice back in say the 70s. A mid priced rifle these days (say a Tikka Superlite for $1900) would have cost just over $100 in 1971. If you paid $400 for a new rifle back...

Never trust any diesel speedo in NZ, better to judge milage by the gear knob and steering wheel (and drivers seat), seen plenty of shiny smooth ones on "150,000km" cars.
