The sleek design means that you have no annoying magazine under, and the 30-06 is far superior to the .308. Don't know why you're comparing it to bolt action rifles though, they are designed and meant to be used in a different way. I have a K98 with ZF-41 and that is by far one of the best bolt action rifles ever. Forget about the Russian Mosin-Nagant crap, the Mauser bolt action is one of the smoothest, safest and most perfect things ever. I have an Enfield No.4 T as well, and despite being considered the best sniper rifle of WW2, I can't come to terms with the action, but it surely is a dead accurate gun. Quote:

Damn, you are right about the prices. Last time I checked, quite a while ago, arsenals used to sell under $700. Anyway, I can just look and droll, since anything that looks, smells, or sounds like AK is prohibited up here.

Obviously not the right thing to do, but hey even after 2, no maint, and thousands of rounds of com-bloc surplus they still run like champs! All Romainian too, except for the Saiga conversions. Quote:
My biggest complaint about the garand isn't the weight, Ive been a 240 gunner and a mortarman so this rifle isn't going to drag me down! Its the shape. I mean its just...awkward! To me anyway. I mean I seriously just can not get into a comfortable position with the garand. And whats this about M.N. crap! I happen to love the platform, for the same reason i appreciate all Russian guns-simplicity and form that follows function. My 1915 Peter the Great M.N. will shoot just as well as any of my mausers, and after a thorough cleaning (I'm talking DAYS to get the near 100 years of gunk out) the bolt is very smooth. Only thing that really gets me on the M.N. is feeding it. You go to push the rounds into the mag and before you bottom out there is this ledge on the side of the receiver that can tear your thumb nail off! Ive never had the opportunity to shoot an Enfield, but it is quite a fetching platform. If I could ever find a reasonably priced Ishapore Enfield in my area Id be on it like a fat kid on cake. Quote:
I see that your from Canada. That sucks (as far as guns go). Even in California we can own Ar/AK platform rifles. You know what surprises me though is the seemingly common nature of the SVT-40 up there. Here they are like Hens teeth, and can cost thousands of dollars. Ive spoken to Canadians who bought their 5-round magazine SVT's for $400. Id do terrible things to own an SVT. EDIT: And if your going to talk actual sniper rifles, dont forget Savage! They consistently win competitions here with out of the box stock rifles, going against custom Rem/Tikka variants. EDIT 2: Misread-jaws is out of Canada-my mistake!

You owe it to yourself to get an Enfield or 4. Slickest bolt action ever, even if not the strongest.
I have everything from a Long Lee up to a 1950 Long Branch, and a 2A1 Ishapore. The WW1 No.1 Mk.III is my favorite though. The old axiom about WW1 rifles really is true. The Germans had the best hunting rifle (98 Mauser), the Americans had the best target rifle (03 Springfield), and the British had the best battle rifle.
