RE: Military surplus rifles
WELL OLD ARMY!!
For $200.00 or less, you can get both a Russian Moisin-Nagant and a Swiss K31. These Swiss rifles are precision instruments, which shoot exceedingly well, as you would expect from something Swiss.
The Moisins are true clunkers, but are "fun-guns", and some shoot surprisingly well. Of these, I'd prefer an M91/30, or one of the carbine versions made before WWII, or a Finnish or Polish-made version. The long (31" barrel) original M91's are a bit on the clumsy side........
