[diat150]

trying to decide what I want:

K-31
yugo 24/47
czech vz24 8 mm
k98
lee enfield

whatcha think? any others

 

[Nomad.2nd]

K-31

 

[smith625]

I've got a mark 4 lee in 303 if you decide to go that way.

 

[jmw169]

K98 if you dont have one already..Be careful u will want more. Enfield second, I think it is the best looking rifle especiall the No.1 mark3.

 

[Doug]

Finnish M 39
Yugo 24/47
and
k 98
and then you can add to that

 

[whbonney26]

K-31. They shoot great and try to find one with the tag in the butt stock if you can.

 

[dantheman]

K-31 . Way cool .

 

[LACamper]

+1 on the enfield. Unfortunately, surplus .303 is scarce right now.

 

[billy82269]

Umm, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, 1903 Springfield, and 1917 Enfield. You need some American C&R

 

[GBob01]

I love my Enfields, but you can't go wrong with a Yugo 24/47 or M48 either. K31 ammo is more expensive than any of the other surplus still.

It ain't cheap , but this stuff is match grade .

well, the american guns are much more expensive. I kind of wanted to stay under 300.

Im leaning towards the k31. from what I hear the k31 is the most accurate out of the bunch and has the best trigger.

Most of them that I have seen have been well maintained . The wood might need to be refinished if you care to . The metal on mine was awesome . I sanded and refinished the stock . They are reasonably priced but getting harder to find .

 

[Mr_Willson]

are israeli 98k's any good? (308 version)

 

[diat150]

I believe I am going with the k31, now beech wood stock:

or walnut tiger stripe

 

[LACamper]

I like the walnut.

BTW, I like my enfield's trigger, but the action is smooth as glass! I've got a russian M44 which is more accurate, but I still like my enfield. I've shot but never owned a mauser. One of these days...

 

[sgt z]

Mr. Willson do you know where any of the Israel k98 are? Ones I have seen advertised are rough or "you fix em". I would stick with regular German 8mm for a shooter. I want one if it has both the Star of David and the swastika.

diat150 +1 on the Finnish M39, Swede 6.5X55 (both are close to your$ limit), Mosin Nagant 91/30, SKS, Guess the ammo cost advantage to some doesn't exist any longer, although the 7.62X54r is not too pricy.

 

[Raguel3]

Have the m44 and 91/30 Mosin, fun,but the straight bolt can be annoying sometimes,and once in while you get one of the "burred" chamber models that stick after the shot(also shy away from the silvertip laquered rounds-they combine on the sticky chamber)...the k31,super accurate but as was stated-ammo is high$ , the butt tag is interesting tho,cool to know who owned it long ago.
Lee Enfield mk4 , wow, smooth as can be,accurate,and just a joy to shoot.

 

[dantheman]

My K31 runs flawlessly . I use the Swiss milsurp ammo mostly .
