Okay I am doing my safety training this coming weekend, and then I can apply for my PAL (Canadian thing. Means I can get guns...) and I am trying to decide on what to get for my first gun(s).
I dont have a lot of money, and from what I've seen/heard online, I've narrowed it down a bit. I want a .22 rimfire rifle for obvious economic reasons. This will be my first gun. I am leaning towards something made by Savage Arms, either the Mark II or the model 64.
I also want something that fires something a bit more substantial. I was thinking either an SKS or a Mosin Nagant 91/30, as both are available for $200.
I feel like the big decision is which one do I want bolt action vs. semi auto, because I figure if I am getting two guns, I should get one of each regardless of calibre.
So I was wondering on peoples opinions on these 4 guns.
The Mark II and the model 64 from Savage arms are within $10 or so of eachother, and the big difference is the mark II is bolt action with the accutrigger, and the model 64 is semi-auto without the accutrigger. I assume the Mark II is more accurate, but can anyone verify that??
Anyone have input on the accutrigger?
Also, what are opinions on the SKS and Mosin Nagant 91/30?
My instincts say get the bolt action 22, and the semi-auto SKS, but I wanted your guys' opinions on the matter first.
