Hey guys, new to the board. New to gun ownership, shot .22 rifles as a kid in camp but i've ordered a pistol and looking to get a cheap, fun and realiable bolt action rifle. Hope you guys dont mind filling me in on some things i have no clue about!

Welcome! What kind of shooting are you looking to do. Much easier to guide you if we have a direction.

Thank You! Well I wont be hunting, so i'm just looking to practice with the pistol and have it for home defense, and I had alot of fun shooting targets when I was younger with the bolt action, so i guess I just want to relive that. Haha

I was leaning toward a nagant, I'm not looking to spend too much on the rifle.

A Mosin Nagant would make a great and inexpensive first rifle. Once you buy one gun though you will want many more!

Welcome to the group.

Ah..Mil Surp. Cool. I'm afraid Im not much help to you there but I know there are a number of fellas on this board that are into them and could likely provide you some insight.

Welcome to the club :clap:

 

As far as the Mosin goes, excellent choice of bolt action rifle. They are fairly inexpensive for a good one, and the ammo will not break the bank. Just make sure you do some research before you pick one up, because there are certain things that need to be looked at prior to purchase such as head space, bore, ect. Some of the guys with more experience can fill you in on the details. Good luck
