Newest Remlins are supposedly much better. But as above, maybe not always. I am unwilling to take a chance. Any I buy are going to be old tried and true JMs! Have three of them and would buy as many more as I cn find that are on the low end. Never going to be made that way again, and never going to depreciate. Same with the Savage 99s I pick up, and the recent old Rem 760. All very nice old guns with great workmanship and craftsmanship. I am really not a new gun guy
