So any opinions as to whether it’s worth repairing or just get a new budget ie cheap one as some of these get good reviews for accuracy and power.
It does have a bit of sentimental value and is pretty to look at!

What sort of shooting are you intending to do? I find that for my general, short range plinking (20 yards or so) I do as well with my 1969 Sporter or '70's Mk 3 as I do with more modern stuff.
Plenty of info/help on here, as you've probably gathered.
