re: #115 Romantic Heretic
Is it hard to get ammo for that? As I recall that rifle uses a specific Soviet made round.
Very easy & very cheap as a couple of gazillion rounds of it are in surplus channels. It’s not one of my preferred chambering (7x57 or .30-30 for me, thanks) but lots of people like it. As long as you reload with appropriate bullets, it’s in the same ballpark as the US .30-06 or German 7.92x57 and fully capable for hunting anything in North America.
