are there any non military surplus bolt actions chambered in a full power rifle cartridge that have peep sights that are under 00, im really wondering about this because i heard that they used to be common but when i look i have trouble finding one that even has open sights on it
@2112: meaning not a military surplus 1903 springfield or lee enfield mk4
or any other rifle that was used by the military then sold
@joed: i said NON military surplus and a .22 isnt a full power rifle cartridge

I want it beacuse I live in a bad neighborhood and I just want it for target shooting too. I was thinking maybe a military surplus gun. Ive heard good things about lee enfield’s. But I just wanted some other options.
Hell even a good boltaction.
Okay man. I shouldnt have the right to defend myself in my own house beacuse im 19 and cant get a pistol till im 21? I just want something that will have man stopping power thats simiautomatic.
Thanks you guys are a great help im leaning towards either a pump that holds quite a few shells or a mosin nagant.

Now, as a bit of an experiment, i’d like to hear your opinion

You are in an urban battle field, a downtown of any major city. Let’s say New York. Big city blocks, tall buildings, and the subway system. Total anarchy is rampant, every man for himself. You are given the choice between 4 sniper rifles. They are as follows:

#1: Karabiner 98k with Zeiss 4x ZF42 scope, chambered in 8mm (7.92x57mm Mauser)

#2: Mosin-Nagant 91/30 with 4x PEM scope, chambered in 7.62x54R

#3: Lee-Enfield SMLE No.1 MK III, (HT) with 4x telescope, chambered in .303 British

#4: Gewehr 43 with 4x ZF 4 scope, chambered in 8mm (7.92x57mm Mauser)

The enemy is an organized force, complete with supply lines and the latest in ceramic body armor. You are given the rifle of your choice, ammuniton is plentiful, and a cleaning kit for your gun of choice. In this urban guerrila war, you are to fight for your life. Please state which one you would choose and give a detailed explaination on why.

I’ll start out. I’d choose the Mosin-Nagant. The cartridge is plenty powerful for shots over 300 yards, and with the scope accurate shots have been recorded up to and beyond the 1000 yard mark. I own and use one today and go with the "use what you know" trick, though the farthest shot I ever got was 445 yards. It, to me, seems like the obvious choice for its reliability, ease of use, and accuracy.

Thank you for your input!

Obviously, you people can’t enjoy a thought experiment. Just take it for what it is. And, those say this is a video game, where are you going to be when the riots occur in your neighborhood?

I’m playing Call of Duty 3, and there are two achievements that deal with rifles.

One tells me to only use bolt action rifles, and the other says to use assault rifles.

I have saved the game right now, and I have a scoped Lee-Enfield and some German rifle. I used the same sort of weaponary, and I didn’t get the achievement.

So what is the difference between those two rifle types?

I’m looking to fill my gun cabnit with a few surplus rifles(mostly target shooting and maybe varmint hunting). When I think of surplus rifles I think of the mosin nagant, kar98, springfield, lee enfield, sks, ak47, and other popular military rifles. I want reliabilityy, cheap ammunition, and decent/good accuracy. Whats my best bet? I would like to pay between 0-0 for each rifle.
