I have been mulling over bolt action mil surplus rifles for quite some time now.
Which to buy and why? My thoughts...
I want reasonable accuracy. (will be a plinker, but could possibly compete in local surp rifle club class) I want inexpensive ammo that can be had in vast (surplus) quantities. I want a reliable warhorse that will be fun to shoot. I want something that can be had for under 200 bucks that is not going to be a p.o.s. or a pain the the arse.
These are the rifles I am considering for the above reasons in no particular order.
Yugo Mauser 24/47 (8mm) <--*are these bores chromed anybody?
Schmidt Rubin K31 (7.5x55)
Finn Mosin M39 (7.62x54r)
Finn Mosin 91/30 (7.62x54r)
