Is this just an opinion? I would be interested in the metric (if any) you're using to determine that. It's a good rifle, I wouldn't deny that, but what puts it ahead of the Springfield, Kar98, Carcano, etc.?
Read a book, retards.
have you seen this guy shoot one? pretty impressive bear in mind he's using a shitty indian ishapore copy
Damn, I forgot that every book ever written says that the Lee-Enfield is the best rifle ever devised. Thanks for reminding me, retard.
K98k
“Car 98” fags are cancer
>Springfield, K98, Carcano
Double the capacity, substantially faster bolt, cock on close for not throwing off sights during cycling are the 3 big ones.
Still easily outclassed by every semi-auto though, including and most especially the Garand.
Better than all the bolt actions of the time for sure, yeah.
Old clapped out shit shouldn't be trusted or depended on. It's not wrong to trust a $300 Savage Axis over some hoopty old POS
And 30-06 is better in every single regard. Checkmate gun weirdo suckka
Modern bolt actions under 1k are universally garbage.
300 bolt actions are literally garbage rods made from rebar tier steel, you won't get more than 7 MOA even with molecularly perfect ammunition.
Nogga I have seen beater savage axis and Ruger Americans shoot sub moa with good ammo pretty consistent. Sounds like you just don't know how to shoot.
Maybe if you're in a commonwealth country 50 years ago. Here in burgerland, you're lucky to get a clapped out enfield for $500, and .303 is 90cpr for bottom of the barrel ammo.
The best PrepHole rifle is what is most widely available in your country. Around me, that would probably be an AR15 due to large amount of parts, mags, and ammo. alternatively, a bolt gun in .308 would be runner up for larger game and commonality of ammo, but there isn't much around me that 5.56 can't put down in a single shot.
I think an ar in .300 is the best PrepHole rifle for us amerifatts.
For all purpose varmint, deer hunting, truck gun, etc. I'm going with a Marlin 30-30 as the best
Both wrong.
Very based enfield enjoyer.
Mine still has epic performance at long ranges, despite turning 80 years old this year.
Happy birthday SMLE!
What finish do you have on your metal there? It looks freshly blued.
This is a PrepHole thread not an PrepHole thread...
Just because you said PrepHole in the title doesn't make it an PrepHole subject. The body is clearly pure PrepHole
No need to be a fag about it
why kot screm
Bkz
The No4 is better in every way though.
Absolutely true. If i could have just one rifle ever if shtf this would be it
unless you ever need to find the slightest amount of ammo
I worked for a company that sold farm supplies to rural stores.
Shit like chicken wire, horse troughs, shit like that.
They sold "common" ammo like 9mm, 12ga, 5.56, .308 and what you'd expect a farmer to use- about a dozen or so calibers.
They had .303 British.
Always thought it was weird.
It's God's chosen caliber, unironically. Finished off tens of millions of poojeets and groids and has arguably taken the most game in firearms history.
There's a lot of lore around the Enfield in NZ, because they were used in a nation wide deer culling from 1930s-70s, mobs were huge and thousands were shot by some hunters one got 1500 in a year in big steep country, their Enfield's did a lot of work. Millions nation wide and the lads got to live in huts in the back country and got paid to hunt. Living the dream. The tracks and huts are still here and there are some great books on the times too. I've found old 303 shells stuck into trees and in the ground.
There's always 303s for sale for $500 bucks, they're clapped out though.
Kino years
I just love it, bros. Such an iconic and beautiful weapon. Also the first and best batte rifle ever made. To me, the Aston Martin DB5 of the gun world.
I'm too poor for guns so I only have an unmodified 10/22 and a 50lb bow 🙁
Wow that thing is sexy
It's a good rifle, certainly one of the best bolt military service rifles ever designed but how does this thing hold a candle against any modern production bolt gun chamber in .308 or .30-06? Also for PrepHole lightweight is better, I'd make a case that a .357 magnum revolver with a 4-6" barrel is the ultimate PrepHole gun as it is capable of killing man and bear alike, not too heavy, inexpensive ammo, small compared to rifles/shotguns, overall it gives the best compromise on weight, size, cost, accuracy, and firepower. For long arms a pump 12g shotgun like an 870, model 37, or BPS is superior in versatility and reliability to a Lee Enfield.
I've heard a single .303 round could conquer the world
Just because you gays shat up and killed off PrepHole doesn't mean you need to invade other boards now.
Arisaka Type 99, once you experienced enough, you'll come to the conclusion that this is the best rifle.

And, this is the same as the boomer "two world wars" argument. Most people will recognize the Mosin is among the worst mass produced service rifles alongside the carcano to go into the first world war let alone the second one. It's a perfectly serviceable and "adequate" military rifle for 1889 thru maybe 1920 but it's heyday is long over as there are better options for less or equal money.
just like the SMLE series of rifles
The SMLE is a technically and functionally far more sophisticated weapon than the commie shitstick.
I have sold or plan to sell every gun I've ever bought except my No 4 Mk II from Lithgow. Those Australians knew how to put together a rifle.
But I really just keep it because it is beautiful and fun to shoot. In terms of PrepHole its terrible. It weighs a ton, the sound is beyond deafening and while its surprisingly accurate you don't have to spend much to find something significantly better.
What're you thinking about selling? Any HK stuff?
I have a P30L and HK45 that I could be convinced to part with.
I'm not partial to those. I think I'll get a USP 45 Tactical one day, but not yet.
What else are you interested in selling? Any surplus rifles or pistols?
That's about it. A few Kel-Tecs but that's all.
Pretty good collection. I know I don't have a right to pry, but if you're just trying to make life simpler and less clutter, i'd keep the HK45 too, just since a handgun and a bolt action is better and more fun! than just a bolty.
Unless you are hunting, bringing a rifle is LARP. Carry a pistol or revolver in bigger calibers, that's it.
>jobs to a PTR-91, FAL, AR-10 or any other semi automatic battle rifle
If you're PrepHole and find yourself in a situation where you NEED a rifle then you're only going to get one shot and you better make it count.
I suggest a .50 cal hollow point in the neighborhood of 385gr.
Where the actual fuck did you take this picture
not telling :>
A 180gr .303 is infinitely better than that shit. More energy at the muzzle, far more energy down range, much better sectional density, much better ballistics etc.
>Anyone ever had a CZ527?
In .223, they used to be the best grouse/varmint/deer hunting rifle you could buy for the money. Very accurate, well-made, beautiful walnut stocks and blueing. That said, they are so good I would even buy one for twice the price. Just make sure it's in good condition and preferably get an older generation one. On the newer ones, CZ already started cheaping out on materials by glueing on the front sight which may cause it to come loser after a few hundred shots. I suggest getting one where the front sight was still milled onto the barrel or without iron sights altogether for attaching a suppressor.
>GripPod
Bong??
Those were standard issue in the U.S. army
Anyone ever had a CZ527? I was interested in getting one for a modern bolt but didn't know they were going out until it was far too late and they're discontinued with prices already jacked up twice of the original
I got one. It's excellent. Lightweight and the set trigger is about as smooth as triggers get. I basically never hunt with it since I usually use my marlin in the woods around here. Mostly I just play with it at 200 yards at the range and have a field day. I imagine it'd be fine on a deer given decent ammo and keeping your distances reasonable.
Oh yeah. And it's a 2011 model in 7.62x39
wot did you mad to youre kot 😮
What's a good all-around starter rifle for the outdoors? Maybe for plinking or target shooting, as I've never gone hunting and know nothing about that side of things.
I've never actually owned my own gun before, even though I've been shooting for most of my life between scouts as a kid and the military as an adult. I know how to use it and how to care for it, just wouldn't even know how to begin selecting one.
Ruger 10/22
Cheap ammo
Highly configurable
Fun
its very printable too
even has a cool bullpup kit from desert tech, making it perfect for travel
pellet rifle. more shooting per dollar
It depends on what you need it for. As other anons have already suggested, something in .22lr is a good choice for a first gun. Recoil is practically non-existent, ammo is very cheap and ubiquitous. You can take squirrels, rabbits, birds, maybe a marten with it. They are also great for plinking cans and whatnot.
.223 is a significant step up in terms of energy and would be my suggestion. Recoil is still very light and ammo relatively inexpensive, except now you can confidently take foxes, badgers, coyotes, racoons, all the way up to deer-sized game with it; at a distance, as well. I'd try to keep it within 300 meters for hunting though. For target shooting, it will also serve you exceptionally well beyond that.
If you need something for defense against bears and other wildlife, but something that can still be carried on an everyday basis and great fun to shoot at the range, I highly recommend a .357 Magnum, preferably in a 3-6" revolver configuration.
If you want a proper, high-powered hunting rifle for taking big game like wapiti, caribou, brown bear, moose, I would find it uncouth to suggest anything other than the .303 given the beauty and history of that cartridge and the nature of this thread.
