Just added this to my collection...

It's gas operated and the bolt is interesting...

I hope you got a great deal on it.. I saw the MSRP. That's kinda high
IMO but then again...
Looking at the weight, better work on wrist and arm strength.
It's not bad. Seven rounds adds maybe seven more ounces but it can be
single-handed without a problem. I haven't fired it yet so the recoil
might be a different story!
It looks heavy enough to handle a lot of recoil.

I'm thinking of investing in a pair of these to go along with the muffs.
When shooting the Mosin
Nagant, the muff gets pushed up the side of my head. The little rubber
plugs don't seem to do much
for me.

Took a friend to the range with me yesterday. He's almost 80, flies RC
planes, and loves guns. But,
he's living with his son and family and son doesn't want guns in the
house with the kid around -
safe or no safe. Yesterday I let him shoot the MN. He had a blast - had
never fired anything bigger
than a .22 squirrel rifle.


It's fun to introduce people into shooting. A friend of mine came into
town for a week and I took him and his sons to the range. They had never
fired a gun so we started with my .22 pistol and moved up to the .44
Magnum. Then I brought out the AR and AK. They all had a great time.
The ammo cost was over $300 for the day but worth every penny!


I just bought 420 rounds on 5.56 brass cased with ammo box and stripper
clips at 35 cents a round. Could have saved a couple bucks on line, and a
lot of bucks if Harry would share his und r market source.


I saw name brand .223 on stripper clips for .29 cents a round. I don't buy
5.56. Maybe it was .38 cents a round. I don't use stripper clips either. I
use a couple of search engines and look at some stores but I don't do much
of it since a buddy took over our group buys. I do still look separately
for good quality .22lr ammo, especially 40 grain Minimags.

We're shooting wolf gold and a few others in.223 now. It seems more
accurate than the federal and it is less expensive.
