I've always had an open mind when it came to buying an old military bolt action rifle and the Mousin had always been at the top of that list because of availability and low price.
Mousin's aren't as cheap as they use to be thanks to demand for them. So, the Lebel rifle of 1886 is another one that's caught my eye. I really like the tube magazine because you don't see bolt guns with tube magazines often.
I know the ammunition is hard to come by, but reloading helps mitigate the cost of the 8mm Lebel.
Pound for pound, which rifle do you think is better? Which would you rather own?
