I like the AK, but I think the next thing I'm going to play with is a Mosin-Nagant. Looks like a pretty cheap way to have some fun.

I also have a K31 but haven't hunted with her yet. I will soon. I have one other rifle that I'd like to get a confirmed kill with and then it will be the Swiss's turn.

The Swedish mausers 94,38 and 96's are tough to beat in the accuracy dept.Never have recovered a bullet[160gr] from a moose or deer reguardless of the angle.Always two holes and leaking like a sieve! Harold

GARANDS, GARANDS, DID I MENTION GARANDS. According to General Patton it is the finest battle rifle of all times. I really like the M-14's also. I would also like to get one of the GEHWER(did I spell that right) in 8mm Mauser. I really like that one. It is almost as nice as my 03 Springfield's. You need all FOUR. Tom.

I have shot a mosin-nagant (7.62x54); the heaviest and by far the loudest gun I've fired. The weight reduces much of the recoil. I've also shot a M1 Carbine (soon to be in my hands).

i deer hunt with a belguim Mauser 98k...though it is sporterized with a new stock and leupold on top...barrel, action and trigger are all original...though looked to been slightly milled down to remove some battle scars...its chambered in 3006...thats where i get my name from

it was the first gun i ever bought and paid for myself..i was 13. saved my grass cuttin money all summer. threw on a scope laying around...next summer i saved up for the leupold...

the k31 is a sweet rifle. the one i shot was accurate as heck. really liked the striaght throw bolt too...
