The rifles you buy when you're young and stupid

["yote"]

Keep the glass and sell the 2 rifles for the most that you can get.
Find a dealer that you trust or sell them to another party. You should be able to get enough out of them to buy yourself a nice semi-custom 30-06. Put that Zeis glass on it then you will have a go-anywhere, shoot most anything rifle. Find a good "smith" that you like and use the money to build a good "06" that you will like.
