Bang for the buck....
I'm not a big gun guy but a co worker of mine had bought a couple of WWII era rifles and took me shooting.
He paid less than $100 each for a Mauser K98 and a Mosin Nagant.
A week before we went shooting we went to a gun show in our area and bought Ammo something like $120 for 1400 Round for the Mosin nagant
and a similar amount for 1200 rounds of 8 mm Mauser.
Those guns were a blast at the range. They made a HUGE boom and were fairly accurate. We were questioned several times by other on the range about what the heck these guns were and got to sample a few other guns that were way out of my price range.
That brings me to my question.....I really enjoyed shooting rifles and enjoyed the challenge of testing my accuracy making adjustments and testing again. I don't have the time to devote to hunting down ammo, dickering over price then to go shooting.......What is your advice to best bang for the buck....
Price of weapon vs. price and availability of ammo vs. room to grow enthusiasm for the sport?
