[QUOTE="Deleted member 107796, post: 1548112"] I see your point and agree but also see an inaccurate generalization. Technology is great where it applies and improves the situation but you seem to blob old technology into one generalized item. There are "new technologies" that are only interested in cheap manufacturing, and the corner cutting makes these new technology items, inferior to the old. My 1950 Remington 722 in 257Roberts is one example. I'll take a completely machined item like this, over any stamped ***, hands down. We can easily point out other examples, like driving with the new cell phones, being completely lost without an internet connection, etc. to show that new technology is often hyped up as the next best, while just being a vehicle to sell something. As someone that just retired from the high tech industry in medical devices, I can easily say that even if one of my tools is old, as long as it's useful, I use it. Similarly, remember how good the new stuff is when you do your next painful software upgrade. [/QUOTE]
