adolan21,
Both brands are solid rifle that'll last long than you will over time! Now a days even 22 ammo is getting expensive as much well as cnter fire ammo which cost well over twice what it use to be. For economy sake the difference between brands of rifles is the same. it's just old school compared to the modern version. Just enjoy your rifle and have a good time. To ring out which shoots the best it'll take you all year long easy.
