Quote HistoryQuoted: For me? This one: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/359475/5E492140-B8BD-4378-BBDC-C9AA3EBF0D29_jpe-1790797.JPG Bergara b14r. The .22 match ammo is all subsonic, so no need to wear ear pro. It’s amazingly fun shooting tiny groups, or steel out past 400m, all with zero recoil, for CHEAP (relatively speaking). All of this, plus you can set it up with any 700 stock with AICS mag compatible bottom metal and aftermarket 700 triggers.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a couple of old Spanish 1916 mausers in. 308 Win that I have been casting an powder coating for. Plan is to put them on top of some 2400, Reloader 7 or Unique and that should make a couple of real fun bolt guns for schmacking clay pigeons on the berm. Been shooting cast bullets in a 03A3 with a Lyman peep sight. Its still a favorite. |

Been shooting cast bullets in a 03A3 with a Lyman peep sight. Its still a favorite. I bought thousands and thousands of 6.5x55mm blanks when they were getting blown out for cheap. They're still only $96/1000+shipping. I've been pulling the wood bullets and reusing the primed case to make AG42 (which mutilates brass) ammo, and plinking ammo for my other 6.5x55s. The pulled powder works really nice for very light cast bullet loads, it is similar to unique, but be careful and work up. It was essentially free, so for the cost of casting a bullet, and a primer, you're in business shooting cheap. If you use it in a Swede (OBVIOUSLY much less than is in the blank originally) with a light cast bullet, you're shooting REALLY cheap. |

Concur, my No. 2 Mk. IV* is probably the most-shot of any of my bolt actions. There's just something relaxing about it.  Mine was originally a Long Lee - you can see it still has the Long Lee buttstock/plate. A piece of wood was spliced in at the wrist to allow clearance for the SMLE safety lever. For added fun, take one to an indoor pistol/.22 only range and watch the chaos when the RSO notices you uncasing it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder if a Springfield M1922 or a Gew.98 with the conversion is as fun? Likely. Most of the subcaliber trainers are fun guns. The only one I can think of that is a pain is the MAS-36 Tir Reduit, because the .22 casings go into a sort of fake "shell" and they like to get stuck in there after firing. You usually have to pry them out with a tool. |

Some other thoughts- K11 is superior to K31 from a fun-to-shoot perspective. Bolt throw is smoother and trigger is nicer. Not that either are bad on the K31, but they're just magic on the K11. The K31 is a bit more accurate.
As a counter, the least-fun bolt action is probably this.  |

I did this with my CZ without much effort:  I'm not a particularly great shot. I don't have the steadiest of hands, and I've worn glasses most of my life. I was using a low power scope, and, IIRC, I was making adjustments between groups. I was also on an outdoor range that can get kind of breezy. Knowing my limitations, I'm very satisfied with the fact that I did that with a lightweight carbine and ammo that was $6 a box. There are/were several guys on this forum that could easily outperform what I did here just based on having additional experience and skill that I do not. In short, my answer is that it's at least plausible. |

Some rifles "like" goofy choices. The best group I ever shot with a .22 for example, was with a Remington 581 and Winchester Xpert HV bulk pack. Bought a box of match grade to see just how well the gun would shoot, and the groups were twice the size-in that rifle as well as 2 others. |

For me, its my Win. .223 varmint barrel bolt action with a 10x scope. Slow twist, so we are talking 60 grains or less. Loves 52's.
Cheap to shoot, very accurate, easy on brass/cheap brass, easy to reload, and no recoil fatigue. You can go thru 200 rounds in an afternoon, and you are not beat up. Good barrel life. Uses the same basic powders I reload for other calibers. Good trigger. |
