Word. I've only acquired 2 boxes (1 FMJ and 1 "reduced recoil") since it's so scare rn. But .223 and 270 just doesnt do it for me even though that's fairly prevalent, almost wish I'd gotten it in Creedmore that's p easy to get too

I don't think you've seen a military grade firearm. Just a bolt action rifle, see them in sporting goods stores. Not that I know about guns.

not by modern times, but most firearms made through-out history usually started out as military contracts/inventions or some variant of them. stuff like 1911's and bolt action rifles can technically still be considered "military" weapons since they are still used in military service despite their design being over 100 years old.

Nice pick up, i'm definitely a bolt action rifle guy. Like you, I don't hunt but I enjoy target shooting. I also have livestock, so sometimes it's necessary to get predators off my land and keep them from killing my chickens. People are so out of touch though, like automatically thinking you want to kill people or that a basic rifle is a "military grade killing machine"

You know people hunt, right? Farmers need to protect their animals, and shooting is part of an Olympic sport? Get a grip on reality, and stop treating people who own rifles like terrorists.

For sport/target shooting, it's fascinating. Also it's always a good idea to have the capability to bag a deer if need be even though I dont actively hunt

IIRC $300? Got it on black friday. Another $300 for the scope (the Weaver it came ith was a little weak), $50 for the bipod, $20 for the sling and sleeve

True, .270 vs .308 comes down to preference. I like that .308 is a shorter round, and being a heavier load it performs better in crosswinds, better trajectory consistency. I mean, either one will take something down if you hit it, I'll trade power for accuracy.

vigorm0rtis posted...

Yes? They're a perfectly fine manufacturer, the Axis series are well known and respected budget rifles. They're accurate and reliable, what more do you need?

Target shooting is a lot of fun, but also expensive--Even for .22 LR nowadays.

Bolt-action rifles of this quality are probably about $400.00, in that ball park. You can get decent older mil surp bolt-action rifles sometimes for as low as $100-200.00 though, and if you're not a proficient marksman pushing out to longer ranges you can still have a lot of fun with them.

Cost of ammo isnt even the big problem, just finding the stuff is the problem. Never in my life did I think Fleet Farm would have literal bare ammo shelves.
But yeah feeding a rifle isnt cheap, I'm at about $1.10/rd with this one compared to, what, $10 for a brick of 100 .22 lol.
My next project is a Ruger 10/22 converted to a bullpup P90 clone with a two pull trigger just because I need something cheap to shoot lol.

Yes, I should take the scope off to eliminate accuracy and shoot it in the leg or arm instead in the middle of the night when I can barely see anyway and make it suffer instead of getting an organ kill shot. How dare I have an efficient way of handling predators that eat my livestock.
