| I was thinking about getting the FR-8 or the FR-7. Which is better and what kind of price is reasonable. I am also thinking about getting an Ishapore Enfield chambered in 308. Thanks for any feedback. |

FYI: There is an C&R section here where you may get some more responses to this question. FWIW, FR7 & FR8's are not really easy to find these days, whereas the Enfield 2A's can be purchased at AIM surplus today. I own an Enfield 2A, apart from some small issues, it is a great rifle: it has a 12 round detachable magazine (which should be loaded with stripper clips), and it was made as recently as 1965. Fr7&8's are great rifles, but finding replacement parts is not going to be as easy as the 2A. I would recommend not shooting commerical .308 in any of these rifles, but if you insist on commercial, Remingtons reduced recoil loads would probably be a good way to for that route... |
