@WildBill45 Since you happened to mention Steyr, that is another rifle I have been looking at. But have heard varying opinions on them. I have ZERO first hand experience with them. Here are the details from the listing
*This is a Steyr Mauser 98 action .308 scout rifle, 20" barrel, 3-9 X 50 scope, new barrel, new Knoxx recoil reducing stock, all matching #s, receiver made in Austria, great all around and hunting rifle, $650 OBO*
I have seen the regular old military surplus rifles going for $100-300 that I guess people like to build on. But I don't know what the value is on one that already has some work done to it. While I am still considering a Wally World gun that I can play with down the road and use as is now, if this is a better gun for not much more $, I may pick it up.
@warbirdlover I do agree on a hunting rifle I wouldn't want the trigger much lighter than that. But I have heard that the older Remington 700 trigger is around 7lbs and far from smooth. Do you know if thats true? And if so, when did they make the triggers better? Since I am still shopping and may grab a used rifle, I would like to know what to look for and what not to.
