Yeah I have to agree on the issue of accuracy in old guns, some old rifles are every bit as accurate as off the shelf rifles today. A friend of mine has a 1979 Browning BBR and it is Sub-MOA easly, first handload I tried for it came in under 3/4" @100yd, it is as accurate as any of my modern rifles except for my freakish Tikka T3. Another good example of some VERY old rifles that are super accurate are the old 96 Mausers, over 100 years old as as long as your bore is not shot out they will hang with modern rifles.
