Well, Christmas Bonus came in and I'm thinking of a rifle.
I think I'm down to either a .22lr fun gun, a lever action fun/sport gun or a 1916 Spanish Mauser in .308.
I don't own a .22 right now and everyone should have one just for fun and plinking so that's a real draw there.
I really like the lever action concept and they look fun as heck. A lever gun also should be good for varmit shooting at my in-laws ranch. Of course my Mini-14 Ranch does that as well but a lever gun in .357 to match my revolver....hmmm.
The last one to attract my gnat-like attention is the .308 Spanish Mausers that Samco is selling. A mauser action in easily available .308 caliber? What's not to like? Mount a scope and drop things from far away, not too bad.
Unfortunatly the bonus wont cover all three. Some has to go to bills so I have to pick one. I'm stumped. Price wise the .308 and then the .22 are the least expensive with the lever being the most expensive.
Any thoughts, suggestions or helpful info? Help me decide on my next rifle, probably the only one I'll get this year.
Thanks.
