There are a lot more aftermarket parts for them now than there used to be. They are good guns and can be fun to shoot!

Yea, I found a scope mount that side mounts that doesn't require tapping the receiver. Might try it haven't decided.
I bought a British 303 carbine a while back and loved it. Only problems were that it kicked like a mule and I couldn't mount a scope on it. I eventually swapped it for something else, but I loved the gun.
I have a friend who owns a shop over here, he is supposed to be getting a shipment of MI Garand's this summer. That is the next piece I hope to pick up. I have gotten a nice collection of WW I and WW II guns kinda by accident at first, but now I am actively hunting certain ones.
I have heard the 303's had some pop to them. Never fired one though.
Are they new or old Garands?
I would love to have a Garand. They are classic rifles with a ammunition you can find most anywhere.
Old garands.
That's one thing I like about the Nagant, 7.62x54 is everywhere and compared to most things right now is less than a dollar a round.
I'm selling my Remington Youth Model 700 chambered in .308. It has a black synthetic stock and has the deck and Leoupold scope rings already installed. Asking $250...unless I know you personally or someone that I know off this board can vouch that it is for your young'un...then I'll knock it down to $175. It would do my heart good to know that this gun would be somebody's kid's first real rifle. I bought it two years ago so that I could have a compact rifle for the "tight" stands on our place.
Sold
Got a very barely used DU edition Mossberg 500A from a Remington guy who couldn't get used to the safety placement. Got a great price on it. Fit and finish are WAY better than the last 870 I owned.
Now I just need to find a similar deal on a 30-06 and I'm set!
I just picked up a Para Ordnance P-14 40 stainless. I always wanted a Para and am trying to keep everything in 40. Now if I could only get a P-7.
Hoping someone here can make recommendations. I'm looking for the deer rifle equivalent of a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. I want a deer rifle that's affordable, accurate, and durable. I'm not so concerned with cosmetics, but I want this rifle to last as long as I do.Quote:

What are your recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
I like the Ruger American. I'd try the Mossberg if that doesn't work out?
Remington 700 xcr
I'd love an XCR if I had the dough for it! I think if I were going with one of the entry level rifles, I may go with the Marlin X series. As it is, I can get a 700 ADL for about $380 or save up another $120 and get Savage 110. I think that's probably the route I'll go. I'll check pawn shops in the mean time, but what I've seen lately is over-priced bolt guns at most of the pawn shops.Quote:
