Does anyone here know how well they compare to newer rifles, and whether parts for those models can be easily found in Australia?

Didn't think they were all that great for the money you pay for them.

If you have to get a new barrel then you may as well have bought a new gun .

A smallbore rifle will last multiple generations, if cleaned with care. Haven't heard of too many smallbore rifles being "shot out".
