Hey all, recently got to fondle a 572 at my LGS. It looks and feels like an amazing rifle.
However with a hefty price tag of $525+ I'm skeptical.
I wanna know if it is going to be able to be a gun that I can take on several outings (In the Western Desert) and not have to worry about babying it. (Sure its got a wood stock but I happen to like the beat up look with some nice character marks )
So what I'm wondering is: With regular cleaning, will the gun outlast me while still be taken on outings in the dry desert and Idahoan winter? (I like to shoot in heavy rain and snow.... )
I don't mind the price of the rifle if it can out-live me and still see hard use.
P.S. This is going to be a Hiking Woods gun, and may see some time in the back of a jeep.
Thanks!
