Budget Bolt Actions

Recommended Posts

Change of pace, have plenty of higher end and expensive firearms but I do like value as well.  When it comes to bolt actions, the field is awash in budget, mid range and then the creme but, have seen plenty of lower cost set ups do very well under 400yards.  Got me thinking and thought it would be fun to discuss who likes what, reasons why etc.

keeping it under $400 I go with the TC Compass

I paid $230 with the rebate for a 308 that is packed with features.  Stock blows but shoots moa, doesn't open up when hot, and shoots well across the sprectrum of various weights.

anyone else?

Just under $400 I think (it was actually a gift). But this was almost a year ago.

I like the idea behind the Mossberg MVP (16” bolt gun fed by AR mags), but I didn’t like the shitty quality of the gun. This fit the bill.

Finding a Trijicon Accupower 1-4 at Midway for under $300 was nice too!

Now I want one of those CZs you were selling a while back in 7.65x39...

I've got a Savage Scout 308 I bought a few years ago for under 400 new.  Put a slightly used Burris 2.75x on it.  It shoots 1" groups at 100 all day long with just about any NATO spec ammo.  US, British, Australian, Portuguese, German, Lithuanian, etc.  Shot a 6/10" group with Federal 149 gr XM80.

That's enough accuracy for my purposes.  I will experiment with hand loads when I have the time.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
