What are my 7.62x54R choices?-Found it! *pics*
Ok, the fiance is letting me buy one more rifle this weekend at Saxet. I think I want to go with something bolt action in 7.62x54R for two reasons; cost and cost. I don't hunt, and I only use my rifles for range time. My budget is somewhere around $200 for rifle and ammo. You guys were a great help a few months back on my K31 purchase, and maybe you could steer me in the right direction again.
What other milsurps other than the Mosin are chambered in this round and available at the same price range? I guess I need a traditional bolt action to round out the blooming collection. Despite their ugliness, I'm leaning towards a 91/30 or an M44. What do you guys think, and what should I look for in these rifles? Any problem areas or things to avoid?
Thanks
