Mosin-Nagant

I second the Ruger 10/22, I have a couple. Nice guns and lots of ways to customize it should you be so inclined.

No no no you don't!

 

[Q9]

Can anyone recommend some good, cheap practice ammo? It looks like Wolf is the cheapest, and it's non-corrosive, but it appears to have a hardcore group of haters.

Get a 440 round spam can of decent surplus ammo. It's way cheaper to shoot than any factory loading. It's corrosive but that isn't a big deal. Spray a squirt of windex on the bolt and down the barrel and clean like you normally would.

Just a warning - the 8mm Mauser kicks enough to make ME sore, and recoil doesn't bother me as much as other people. Had a chance to shoot a friend's once. My shoulder was sore for a few days afterwards.

Sadly, we were only able to find ONE 20 round box of Mosin ammo for sale. Nobody has it! It's also more expensive than I thought it was.

Ten bucks for a 20-round box of Russian surplus? Yikes.
