Which Budget Noob Bolt Gun?

[DHC]

One more thing. I just ran across this topic about the TC Venture on another forum -- http://68forums.com/forums/showthrea...96-T-C-Venture.

While not terribly detailed, it is on-point to your question.

I like Mosin's, just the one I have hasn't been something I'd trust at 200 yards. Tad heavy too. Bomb proof at least so no factory warranty I suppose is no matter.

The REM ADL I saw a mediocre review or two as well as a lot of hate in different places on Remington quality and such lately. Given this model is really only sold in places like Walmart I was kinda dubious. I may eyeball it if I can get myself over there.

I would look at a Mosin Nagant at about 130 buck or less.
Ammo is in the same price range as 270 for soft point 2x that for Norma.
I ware glasses for long range vision so iron sights work for me.
The big nasty point is 3 to 4 inches of MOA will put an elk or deer on you table out to 300 yards. So if low price is you point this is lowest one and yes I have 4 of these guys. I am amused that the REM ADL at 420$ at Walmart is off you list so I'd like to ask why you dont want to consider it here.

Thanks for the extra inputs on the T/C's. One of most helpfull threads I've had. I can normally be pretty quick deliberate on my opinions of what I do/do not want for other types of guns but in this new area my old extreme cost/benefit frugalism paired with overanalyzing.


While the American I bet really is all I'd need, and especially since it's not like my AR and doesn't get shot a ton the added recoil if any wouldn't matter. But I think I may go with the T\C then just because it feels real nice, not something I'd be embarassed of having or someone else get behind on the range.

Think I should go for convenience of whatever mount/rings/scope come in the package or buy all my own mounting stuff and a $150 Vortex?

Regarding optics, I think the Venture comes with Weaver bases. Add some Weaver 1" low mount rings and this 3-9x42 scope for $120 --> http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm...Plex%20Reticle, and you should be good to go.

The new Ruger American in 7mm Rem Mag or 30-06 are both winners in my book.
