Those of you who said contract mil-surps like VZ-24 and South American mausers like Argentine I have to disagree with you and I say that as someone who collects them and has them. VZ-24 are mostly beat up that you see available, and south American contract mauser for one that shoots good in very good or more condition are not cheap and neither is the ammo.
bos19 don't count on Garand not going anywhere soon, they don't make them anymore. Fact is the mil-surp supply is dry these days compared to ten years ago and prices are rising.
What I would get to start with in mil-surps is that will probably hit point of aim @ 100 yds or less
M1 Garand
Swedish Mauser (VERY ACCURATE) available in great condition on GB or gun shows
Swiss K31 (Very accurate) available in great condition on GB gun shows
Enfield .303 N4 MK1 or MK2
Mosin of some sort
or get a M1A or 7.62mm AR
handguns, get a .22 for practice, get a .357 of some sort you can also shoot .38 special in it.
for target shooting to get best accuracy get a adjustable sight handgun.
then make another wish list lol
