Thanks for the comments, all of you.

I forgot to mention in the OP, but the reputation these rifles have for brutal recoil and brass destruction are undeserved. I don't notice any more recoil...

It's not so much the need, but the fact that they are available at that price. With mags for the other rifles mentioned costing at least ten times as much, that can be a compelling factor.

I have...

Hello the camp.

I recently purchased a PTR-91 Classic with wood furniture. I wanted a simi auto 7.62 NATO rifle that has the reliability of an AK, but better accuracy. I considered the...

Here are a few more photos. A few detail shots of the Redfield sight and a shot of the fore end cap decoration.

Thad.

Thanks for the comments. It sounds like you have (or had) a nice example of a great battle rifle.

What I like about this rifle as a P-Scout is that it can be loaded via stripper clips. ...

You're welcome.

I need to shoot more photos, there is some decorative checkering on the front of the forend cap. A "V" shaped area, starting at the barrel (it's the width of the barrel) and...

Here are a couple photos of my Springfield.

First, an overall view.

The best solution I can think of (keeping the either hand access in mind) would be a Miami Classic shoulder rig with an extra holster in place of tha mag holder and an extra pistol in the second...

You're welcome.

I am pleased with this rifle. Off hand at 50 yards, I was getting consistent 3 inch groups. My best groups were just over 2 inches and my worst was just over 5 inches. The...

Rick,

Thanks for the information. I suspected it was something like that.

I use photobucket and will revisit this thread when I'm able to and add a couple photos.

Thaks again.

Hello the camp.

I recently traded for a sporterized 1903 Springfield in 30-06. It has a hooded Lyman front and Redfield aperture rear sight. I considered adding a forward mounted extended eye...

Thanks, all of you, for the warm welcome.

Welcome form central Indiana!

I plan on adding an 870, or perhaps a Mossberg 500, to my safe at some point. I have my doubles because of my involvement with CAS. I almost went with my .44WCF Colt clone and my Winchester '73...

Hello the camp.

I've been a member for I while, just recently got around to posting. This is my third post and I expect it will not be my last. I'm located in central Indiana, I've lived here...

You are correct. I just happened across this thread an decided to post. Then I realized that it would be my first here.

The first part of my post included firearms that I actually have on hand. ...

Well, I guess this is as good a place as any to make my first post.

Going with what I have in my safe now.

For a long term back country stay.
Sidearm: Colt SAA clone in .45 Colt. Easy to keep...
