Yup, bought another one, for me, yesterday. The local Gander Mountain
had a half dozen sitting on the shelf, so I had plenty to choose from.
Found one with a nice bore, nice stock, and smooth (but not sloppy)
action. This is a new, one month old, Gander Mountain about twelve
miles from home. Has a great stock of firearms.

My grandson fell in love with that gun while helping me clean the I
bought for son-in-law, his uncle. Now he wants his dad, the other SIL
to have one so he can shoot it.

The local range allows shooting of up to 7.62mm, so I'm in good shape
there. When they come up for Christmas we'll have to pop some rounds.

Anyone have some 7.62x54R ammo they want to get rid of - cheap?


Sort of interesting rifles, but the ones I've handled seemed pretty
heavy. I like the 1898 "Swedish" Mausers...they're lighter, and a bit
more elegant. But if I were seriously shopping for a "sporty" bolt
action rifle, I might go for a Ruger "Scout Rifle" in .308.

I don't know why you are too cheap to simply buy a pile of that
ammo...it's less than 20 cents a round.

Thanks. I would have been horribly embarrassed if you'd expressed any
sort of 'approval' of the rifle.

Your's is always better, eh?


I don't have a bolt action rifle, JohnnyMop, so my bolt action rifle is
hardly better than yours.

As I said, I find the Mosins "sort of interesting....but pretty heavy."
I know they are popular and have a huge following and owner/user base.
