What C&R Rifle should i buy next??

[deoxys987]

I have a few C&R rifles and want to consider getting another one. as of now I have a 1943 Izhevsk M91/30 EX Sniper, A 1943 Izhevsk M38 Carbine and a 1950 Yugo m48. I don't know what I should look for next, I hears the Swiss K-31s are nice but im not sure. I want to buy something that's either bolt action or straight bolt pull like the K-31. In your opinion what do you think I should get my hands on? I DONT want a semi auto C&R yet because Im partial to the bolt actions. what should I buy next in the C&R category??

How much money do you want to spend on rifle and more or a new caliber of ammo?

id say id be comfortable of spending around 400-500$ on a C&R rifle and caliber cost I don't mind just as long as its not too bad.

Can go wrong with a K31. The supply is almost dry so if you can find one, pick it up..

my local ammo brothers has some but I want to look at my options for a while before I buy

A Swedish Mauser can be had in your price range. Accurate as all get out.

Id rather buy a K98 If I can find one. What other C&R Bolt action rifles arein my price range of 500$?

[gunboat]

step up a bit and buy a real C&R -- my '89 swiss or 71/84 mauser

What other C&R Bolt action rifles arein my price range of 500$?

Plenty. Finn M/Ns, Carcanos, Arisakas, Lee-Enfields, and plenty of different mausers. A P14 or M1917 isn't out of the question at $500 either, although you'd have to get lucky at that price.

Bump it up to $800 and get this

well, if you dont want to go the semi route...

k31 is amazing. they're within the price range, and ammo's not too expensive, and you'll never go back to mosins after shooting one. they're so nice.

you could also get one of those austrian m1895 carbines if you wanted to spend about as much as you spent on the mosin; however ammo is ridiculously expensive in comparison. its a straight pull and the rifles are easy to find.

ooooor you could get an enfield. now that you've played with the mosin and the mauser bolt, the enfield "cock on close" is an interesting difference and its fun to shoot as well. you could find a ww2 era No2 or a Lithgow (australian) smle for within that price i would think as well. 303 brit ammos getting more expensive, however, but still doable.

i wouldnt think you could go wrong with one of those three.

You're a Dangerous Poster, Sir! I can resist anything but temptation...

The Lee Enfields are really fun to shoot. Not to hard to reload, either,

Do you reload OP?
For $500, you could get another cheap rifle in the same caliber you're shooting + get setup to reload that cartridge!

I vote for K-31, K-11, G-1911! I'm pretty sure that's what Latigo was trying to think of....

[Latigo]

D'Oh! That was it.
