How about a Rem. 760 / 7600. Walt

Looking for a $500 .30-06 ? Here you go, take your pick. May take a while to decide. http://www.tradeexcanada.com/produits/95 .

Remington 760/7600 in any of the above cals.

If you're considering a Swedish 6.5x55 check out a CG 63. It's a m-96 barreled action in a target stock with target sights.

If you're looking for a cheaper recoil pad, give this some thought. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=608164

The reason for the high mounted scope are three fold. 1 - Although the m-38 bolt handles are turned down, they will still not clear a low mounted scope. 2 - A low scope would interfere with an original safety. 3 - The rear sight would not allow the scope to be any lower if left as is...

Congrats on your decision on the K31 but your questions don't refer to that rifle as it is a straight pull and has no stock disc. Those would be on m/38 or m/96. But keep up on your research as you may decide you'll want a Swede also. Walt

+1 on the Swede(m/38 or m/96). If you have $800 to spend you'll have enough left over for a K-31 Swiss. Walt

You have a very nice resto project there. I believe there is a site where members have a parts exchange, where you can find the parts needed with numbers needed. A part with those 3 numbers would have been made once for every 1000 made,yes? For an m-96 probably, but for a m-94 a needle in a...

You don't have a 3 digit serial number . The 3 digits you see are the last 3 numbers of the actual serial number on the left side of the receiver. That serial number will be preceded by 2 letters which are the initials of the inspector at that time. On an unaltered Swede rifle, you should find...

If I'm not mistaken, the Roberts is pretty much just a 7X57 necked down to .25 Walt

Ya, Red, I guess you're probably right. It's been quite a while since I've done this(10-15 yrs). Around here the shows got smaller and smaller till they pretty much dried up. But under all the grime and rust was some nice walnut and pretty accurate shooters. That said, I'm sure it's still...

I'd say hit the gun shows and buy every $5-$20 beater and refinish them. You're bound to find to find a nice rifle under all the gunk. You'll find it becomes very addictive and a nice hobby, and a money maker when you sell them for $100 after clean up. Walt

Best way to become the favorite uncle. Good job. Walt

What everybody else says. HURRY, HURRY. And pick up extra mags whenever you find them. Walt
