I had a bit of time trying to figure out what he wanted but eventually understood. Everyone does not have the ability to put down in writing what they are thinking. At least allow some leeway and let them eventually prove themselves out.
Goodness!

FYP.
JK of course, but being an 18 series QP, I'm surprised not to hear lots of HK recommendations for you. Most of the guys on PS seem to be pretty pleased with them.
Buy whatever you want. For me, I would buy the Mosin and a 12 gauge Mossberg 500 or an 870. buy two cases of ammo for the Mosin one to shoot and one for JIC. Put in several hundred 12 gauge shells 00 buck and slugs. Some bird shot for small game and practice would be prudent.vincentjus wrote:What is a recommended a problem arises rifle? I'm looking for something cheap with readily available ammo. I'm leaning towards a Mosin Nagant. Same question for shotguns. I like Mossberg, but I'm undecided which model to get.
I am adding that I have recently acquired my first Mosin Nagant ($175), and I have been the owner of a fat-barreled R700 in .308 for a few years now, so I'm in the position now to make an actual comparison.....although I haven't been to the range with both together yet. BTW, I also own a Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308, and while there is no doubt that the R700 is the better rifle for long range shooting, the RGS is the more versatile of the three rifles and still has a nice fit and finish to it. I like it a lot. One of the things that makes a comparison between the three rifles valid is that the 7.62x54R cartridge the Mosin fires is ballistically similar to the .308/7.62 NATO fired by the other two rifles.The Annoyed Man wrote:vincentjus,vincentjus wrote:Sorry I haven't been on in a while.

.....To answer your question (in red above), there is simply no comparison between a Mosin Nagant and a Remington 700. The Mosin is a good, functional, milsurp bolt rifle. The Remington 700 is a much later design, and far more accurate. The bolt will cycle more smoothly. The rifle will weigh less. The Mosin is like an antique steam powered farm tractor to the R700's Porsche.
The Mosin will set you back $150 or so and is available in one caliber: 7.62x54 Russian. The R700 will set you back upwards of $600 for an entry level model and is available in a broad array of calibers.
