I aspire to own a rifle someday, an M1903 Springfield or an 1898 Mauser.
However.
Handguns are made with one purpose in mind, killing other human beings. They should be banned and considered assault weapons.

Handguns are designed for portability, as a rule. By and large, they aren't designed for killing other humans. Even sidearms purpose built for the military and police are considered to be self defense weapons.
However, the two rifles you mentioned WERE designed for killing other humans. And the only reason I would buy either is as a collectable.
If you aspire to own a rifle, start with a .22. .22's are fun, getting beat up by high powered rifles isn't.
