for my bday present to myself.
i love milsurps so it has to be that and these-
NOT semi auto
more than 60 years old
either easy to mount a scope onto NON permanently
or have aperture sights. preferably the latter.
not impossible to reload for, i dont mind casting for the bullets either.
accurate by means of at least 4" 100 yard groups.
preferrably able to be better with handloads
and last but not least- fun fun fun.
+1 for rich history.
I'm thinkin enfield .303 or MAYBE mas 36 (but because it doesnt have a rich history im not sure)
of course there are the 1917's and 1903's....budget wise im looking at less than 1500.
