Breathing also helps. Breathe in, out, bottom of your breath, squeeze, breathe in.

 

Looking to buy a long gun sub $200, thoughts on models?
I thought about the 10/22 but 22 is pretty hard to come by down here.
I'm looking for a common caliber, pump or bolt action preferably unless it has a well designed/reliable semi-auto system.
I don't really need a shotgun, I have a stoeger 3500 and a winchester 1200 for trap/bird/whatever else duty, and my marlin 30-30 is my deer gun.
I'm looking at used 308's, I've shot my cousins R700 VTR and I liked it except the fact that it's a fixed magazine (Had a .243 like that and hated it) and it would be somewhat expensive to switch to mag fed.
I may save up and find a used model 7600 in .270 (Dad has a browning A-Bolt in .270 that I like, but it's to light, it kicks like a mule if you shoot it when you aren't hunting.

 

In that price range I'm thinking that you might want to keep your eyes open for a surplus Mosin Nagant. They're getting harder to find sub-$200 but you can often find on needing a little TLC. Don't know about your area but 7.62 x 54r ammo is still out there.

 

Some of the fixed magazine bolt actions can be converted to detatchable magazines with a swap of the stock.

With that being said.. Mosin Nagant for 150-Stock with detachable magazine prolly 150

Three hundred bucks and you've got yourself a gun that is capable long range (ish) and has significant stopping power.. Plus the ammo is damn cheap if you buy surplus

 

Damnit you beat me to it

Yes I believe a 440 round spam can of ammo runs something like 100 bucks and cheaper depending on how patient you are and how much you are willing to shop around

Hmm, I'll keep my eyes out, not sure if I want a natant, a friend had one and it was a loud SOB, and from what my cousins said it kicked like a mule (worse than my uncles 300 winmag).
I'm gonna visit a few pawn shops and see what they have, there's a good pawn shop in gulfport that has a lot of guns in stock, and they're a class 3 dealer.

I have a feeling that won't work, but it can't hurt to vote.

 

Hmmmm, I'd like this if I could put a wood stock on it.

Hmm, I'm gonna save up and get a savage axis in either .243 (not very likely) 25-06 (this caliber interest me) or .270 (not really a gun I'd want to just shoot, so I'll probably shy away unless I get a good deal)

 

How big are you? Im 5'9 and 160, shooting one of my friends mosins was a blast. I didnt think it kicked too bad at all and was very accurate for what it was and using the irons

 

6'2'' and 250
I'll see if I can find one locally to shoot and decide from that.

 

Anyone else roll their own kydex gear? Haven't made anything in a while but I need to make a couple mag carriers this weekend.

 

Cool! Didnt know that was a DIY thing looks good

 

I tried making a sheath once, failed miserably..

 

Here's my homemade holster for 686.

 

That's some good lookin work SGTCap!

 

So, I just picked up a Spanish mauser chambered in 7x57, I know very little about mauser a other then this was came cheap (I paid 100$ for it), but I'll be honest I know jack squat about mausers, anyone know any good back ground on this?
(I figured I'd post a couple quick pictures, I'll get better ones tomorrow). All I know is it's Spanish and it does not have import marks
