Well, I've been working at a local gun store for a few weeks now, and have come across three rifles we have in stock that I simply must have. Unfortunately, I work in a gun store and have very limited means.
1) CZ 527 carbine, .223 Remington (~ $490). This is a nice little rifle, great for plinking or such. Iron sighted (good ones, too), 5-round capacity, and (from what I've heard) exceptionally accurate out of its 22" barrel. Seems kinda redundant to me, though, since I already have an autoloading AK in 7.62x39. Why would I get a bolt action carbine if I have that?
2) Armalite AR-180B ($625). Chambered in 5.56/.223, and irresistable since I've hated the direct-gas impingement of the AR-15 system. Takes easy-to-find mags, looks cool, and is also a handy carbine. Also runs the redundancy factor as compared to the AK.
3) Remington 1918 Mosin Nagant (Under $200). I used to have an M44. Sold it. Have wanted a Mosin ever since, but none never really caught my eye... until now. This thing is in amazing condition, perfectly shootable (per my own headspace checking). Bolt doesn't match, but everything else does. I love the Mosin design, but am really unsure since it's not in a modern NATO caliber. This might be a diamond in the rough, or might be just another old rifle. I've needed a higher-caliber bolt rifle for a while now... is this the one?
Help!
