108

Greater than .22LR, .308 max. I like the ole M1 style look, not 'scary black AR'. American-made (duh). Easy to get ammo for. I really like the Ruger Scout. Also the Mini 14, but the weird safety do-hickey is a turnoff.

I prefer bolt-action over semi-auto bcuz more rugged and less problems.

Edit: thanks for all the input, faguettes.

Remington 700 is the go-to for me. Lots of caliber options and you can replace the stock to one that fits if you don't like the factory stock.

Oddly, if you want something that's really not 'scary' looking to most people - think milsurp. Buy an actual military rifle that was used in combat... because anti-gun people don't know what they are talking about...

For levers, you're looking at Henry or one of the new Marlins (Rugers). Both are good options.

Remingtons have been shit for years. Get a Savage or Tikka. Fuck so many contenders make very very good bolt guns for cheap now. Better and cheaper. The budget guns these days are better than the old Remingtons and Winchesters. Browning makes some excellent rifles. Weatherby. Remington is NOT what it was and hasn’t been.

'03 Springfield, Mauser 98k, Enfield .303; personal choice, holds 10 rds. The others hold only 5

I need to add a Springfield to the collection. That's been at the top of the list for a long time.

Getting expensive, but a good flat shooting round.

While 30-06, 7.92, and .303 are all harder to find, at least 30-06 is American. I like the 10 rd mag of the Enfield + a very fast cycling bolt.

Didn't Remington go woke last year? I thought I was supposed to hate them now..

I second the Remington just for cost factor and ease of switching things out such as caliber. If you have a printer wou can get this new Henry print done for less than 100 bucks https://pic8.co/sh/XgD1U1.jpg

What do you mean by "switching things out such as caliber"?

No they just went broke

Further research indicates their QC went to hell the past few years

It's hard to keep track. Not sure. But they are good rifles.

Check out the Ruger American Rifle. Fantastic accuracy for the price.

If I could only have one rifle and had some cash, it would either be a pre1964 Winchester 94 or model 70. Not cheap but both will run forever. On a budget, a used Ruger scout rifle, or a used Savage 99.

Get a lever action 30-30. Winchester Model 94

I like levers, but they are more complicated to clean...also more stuff that can jam, etc.

[–] [deleted] • 2 pts (edited )

Yeah they are a bit more complicated to clean. One thing i like about them is you don't have to go off sight to reload like a bolt action. And if you get a feed failure usually just work the lever to clear it. I've got a model 94 that i inherited through my wife. It's a pretty neat gun.

Savage axis ıı is a cheap combo or a ruger predator also inexpensive. If you wanna spend more go Tikka. All .308 or .223
