RE: 308 Question
The NEF handi rifle in .308 is a good shooter or at least the ones I've seen. I don't own one, but my Brother in law and a buddy do. I'm unsure of the price on them, as both were "traded" for. As far as which shoots the best, the way I've always heard it, the less moving parts in the action, the more uniform the shots fired.....that would the single shot.
In reality, most guns made today are pretty good guns. I used to hear guys say that Wal Mart guns, of anymake,were lower grade. The fact is, gun manufacturers can't afford to sell inferior guns anywhere. If Wal mart sells more guns than any other retailer and you were the gunmaker...would you make second class guns for them to sell to the public?
