if you are leaning toward Ruger just go with their 10/22 and get one of the tactical looking models and save yourself another $300. It's the same if you asked me, and I would suggest the ruger to be honest.

Dave, I am just saying what I read, I would never use a carbine as a battle rifle and hadn't claimed as much. My battle rifle (DMR) is going to be the M1A.

Henschman, when I read wood furniture on an AR15 I couldn't help but chuckle a little until I google imaged just that and now I am kind of turned on to that idea. I can just imagine the looks from the guys at the range when I saunter up with that piece of work haha it is certainly a rare look...

Doc, you make some good points as well. I think the problem is I have never seen one in person, and all the pictures of it make it looks so... well, for lack of a better term, wonky, it just isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the other weapons I want. I know in practical terms that is nonsense...

Don, That it has light recoil and you say your daughter likes it might actually be a selling point for me. I want to start taking my girlfriend out to the range and she has absolutely no experience with firearms but really wants to come with. She is built real small so maybe having one of...

For the set I am looking at I wanted guns that all had the classic wood and metal look. When I started this list I had put down and AR15 as a choice but then I started to realize what style I was kind of after and had to take it off. An AR15 is a top of the line Carbine with a cartridge to match...

I am working my way into a set of firearms to take out to the range that will cover, in my mind, the four major types of today's guns. Included in this are Handguns, Shotguns, Carbines and Battle Rifles (or Designated Marksman Rifles, basically a high caliber rifle that isn't a precision sniper...

Well being that my skill with rifles isn't going to surpass the inherent accuracy of either of those rifles it seems like it comes down to which is more fun. From what I'm reading that seems like the Garand which is pretty good news because that is the rifle I have admired since I first saw a...

To start, this isn't supposed to be a which-is-your-favorite-of-the-two threads, though I guess that debate is welcome as well. I want to try to get into competition shooting and I am wondering if anyone has any opinions on which is better to start off with/if either is just better in...

Finnish M39

Rod, I actually was turned onto the idea when I fired my friends M38 with a forward mounted scope. But thank you for the advice, I could see myself easily mistaking coolness for usefullness haha. Abel, I think regardless I would update the stock somehow, whether for weight or for quality.

from going to the Savage website I was looking at the Stevens 200, is Stevens just Savage without AccuStuff? What wasn't pleasant about the Gibbs Quest?

Rexster: how is Browning as far as reliability in your experience? as far as weight goes it is the one place where I was ready to give leeway, but most scouts fall short on back-up irons and that was one thing I require.

Oh I meant more along the lines of not milsurp. in general. Otherwise I would still be going for the M39.

oh, and I forgot, what's the story on Weatherby?

I am in the market for a new rifle, I have been looking at Finnish M39s a lot, as anyone who has seen my posts will know, but I want a project and don't feel like breaking into an M39. Being that I love the Scout Rifle idea, as defined by Jeff Cooper, I wanted to start with a basic .308 rifle...

I'm new to shooting and all but I have never seen the need to comment on the difference between 3 MOA and 1 MOA in a gun like the SOCOM, it's not meant for sniping, if it was it would be a bolt action or at least not have a short barrel. It is a good gun for what it's made for. As I see it...

Cornman makes a point... Ford is better. but in all seriousness he did make the point of placement previously made, You can take down a person with well aimed .22 just as easily as someone could take you down with a knife if you missed with your big ol' .45 what matters is that you're...

Our russian friends did admire Browning's contribution enough to basically steal the whole gun design haha though a 1903 holster would probably be perfect, I'm sure a 1911 would do the job just fine.

off topic kind of but if you are thinking of stopping power but your concern is price pick up one of the old Tokarev TTCs (TT-33). The gun itself is a steal at just about $220. http://www.centerfiresystems.com/romaniantokarevtt-33pistolparttok-tt33.aspx nothing beats that bulk ammo in tins...
