Which commercial bolt action sporter would make the best war rifle?

Guess my original thinking was a plain commercial hunting rifle that would stand up to hard use and little maintenence if pressed into service for a conflict.


Wouldn't your basic Leupold or Burris scope stand up?? Since most hunting rifles don't even offer iron sights anymore.

Ruger - coupled with an M14 magazine

My very limited experience with scoped rifles indicated to me that I could acquire target and get off shots quicker and more accurately than with iron sights. As noted above, most special forces troops have scopes on their rifles (at least in the pictures I saw) and a good many other of our soldiers did also. I'd recommend scoping at least one of your rifles. A scoped deer rifle is a dangerous long range weapon that doesn't have that evil black rifle look.

enfield, 10 round mag. remmy with the aftermarket 10 round mag. 10 rounds will be considered your hi cap battle rifle.
