Hey all, help me choose a C&R rifle to get!
I have a few Mosins, and just flippin love them! I love the history, I love the old wood, love the simplicity and am thinking that it would be awesome to branch out and start collecting a few C&R rifles, both for fun, and as an investment.
The 3 most readily available options I am interested in are:
The Swiss Model 1911 7.5 K11 Carbine ($300)
A 303 Enfield (various models available, $200 - 300)
A 8mm Yugo Mauser $250 range
What are your thoughts/experiences? Is one of these a clear winner, or should I look at another model?
I would like to make a reasonably good investment, but I also LOVE shooting my Mosins. My son is often surprised when we go on what we call a "walk-n-shoot" (hike around in the desert or the woods taking the occasional shoot at a rock, dead tree stump, or rodent) that I will nearly always grab my m44, instead of one of the newer, nicer guns.
What's your favorite bolt action mil-surp, and why?
