I am getting a Mosin Nagant.
Pretty cheap, $110. (Including shipping)
I want a shotgun.
A cheap, realiable Semi-Auto that I can get aftermarket parts for. (well, aftermarket isn't a real requirement, but I do like the possibility of options)
How's the Weatherby SA-08 12/76 (That's 3 inches for you American'ts)
I'm getting some new bear hunting guns. Is does a average 308 or 7.36 have enough power for that (Considering a Mosin Nagant or Karabiner 98k)

I suggest the Browning Auto-5. I have one and it is a great gun. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browning_Auto-5[/url]
The Auto-5 huh? I'll see if there are any one available now.
For a bear I'd personally for something above .30-06 atleast.

I'm not to good with caliber sizes is that bigger then a 308,7.62x54,or a 8x57mm?
30-06 = 7.62x63mm
.308 will be fine for black bears since they're small and stuff, i've seen people take black bears down with a well placed .243 shot, but if you're like going to hunt brown bears or something then you'd want 30-06 at least
The United States Army Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDM-R) is a greatly modified semi-automatic M-16 that provides better range and firepower for American ground Soldiers. It weighs roughly around 10 pounds, and is operated by a gas-powered rotating bolt. I personally favor rifles such as this. I do not prefer to use over-powered rifles due to the barrel wear. There is no point in shooting someone/something and giving such a massive effect on your target. The only time I prefer using a rifle with such high power is when the target is of high value, in a vehicle, or at a long distance. Otherwise, you are firing at your enemy and wearing your barrel down for a pointless reason.
The perfect rifle to take down any animal in North America would be my Weatherby Vanguard in 300 Weatherby Mag.

But at 50 bucks for a box of 20 factory shells it's damn expensive!
I like my 30-06 for hunting. I also have two Remington 700s. One is chambered in 7mm and the other is a .243

The 700 is a really great rifle for the price.
A friend of mine got a Marlin 45-70 for the express purpose of going to Alaska and hunting Kodiak Bears...

But you're shooting a person with a supersonic .22.

Ya, that's all an M16 is really. An overpowered .22 rifle.

Except like, not.

That's like calling an M14 an overpowered .32 ACP pistol.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;27417859]Wrong answer, the Steyr AUG was the first weapon with bulpup design, which Steyr invented too. Im outta here.[/QUOTE]
Not only are you wrong, you're also fucking retarded.
Actually, I should probably stop reading back through this thread. I imagine that it's so full of stupid shit like this I'd be here all night yelling at people for being so goddamn ignorant. Consider yourselves lucky, Facepunch.
That is beautiful.
It's also fun as hell to shoot.
Very sexy. I've got a No 4 Mk 2 myself in near immaculate condition. They're absolutely amazing rifles.
Heavy as shit though.
I have to lug a Steyr around normally, so I don't really worry about the weight - in fact an unloaded No.4 and unloaded Steyr are pretty close, the only difference being that the weight is distributed far differently.
Heavy for me means more than 10lbs empty.
Steyr AUG?
Mine wasn't very heavy, I sold it regardless of its weight but it was a pretty lightweight rifle.
The No 4 MK 2 is heavier than the Mk 1 though, much heavier barrel.
Austeyr F88, so basically yes. They're fucking bricks compared to anything based off of an AR action, and all the weight is up front too. They handle nice but it's a pain in the arse to try and hold it steady without some kind of support after a few minutes.
Strange. Mine was extremely well balanced and easy to hold steady.
Probably because of the 16" barrel, I guess.
you get guns no fair
