In a perfect world, I'd like to shoot more.
In consideration of a new (used) rifle, I am leaning towards a .308.
I think it is more versatile and cheaper than 300 blackout.
I'd like to have some fun range days and maybe even deer hunt or go to Arizona and blast a Wild pig or a peccary.
I've got an AR, and it is ok, but it ain't me.
I have a Ruger ranch rifle (Mini 14) and it feels as though it is a part of me.
The thing is so much fun to shoot, but it isn't terribly accurate. It is an older model and I haven't put on an accu strut.
I've considered a bolt action like a Remington 700,
I'd love to have a Mini 30, just for the "Joy of shooting" Maybe it is like Volkswagens Fahrvergnügen? I really like how a carbine shoulders, and how quick they are to mount.
I've even considered an SKS in .308.
I've never shot an sks and do not know how they shoulder.
I just can decide what I want to commit to.
Price is something I'd like to keep under $800 if possible, or work out a trade for some other things I have.
Price wise, the SKS sounds like the best bang for the buck.
Reputation and accuracy, probably a bolt Remington 700 is the way to go.
And for pure blasting away, the mini 30 is calling me.
What am I going to do?
Please advise
