Good concept.
You get a smart new stock, a proper 10 round mag and the old wooden one will burn nicely on the fire and keep the house warm.
Whats not to like?

I would say that a rifle has to eitherQuestion why do you have a dislike for this style of rifle DM
be accurate
be well made or
be well crafted,
I would argue that this particular rifle is none of those. It could once have been argued that ammunition was cheap, but even that is not as true as it once was. I believe these rifles belong in the bargain bin, under £200. I can not believe that they are now fetching the prices that they are. In my eyes a case of the Emperors New Clothes. Every one says that they are good there fore they are. Well I don't see it.
That's my view, which I accept is not everyones and we are all the better for being individuals.
Oh, and I should mention that I was scoped by one!

I find it odd I admit - but not everyone wants a rifle that they can shoot accurately, or compete with.
I know several shooters who are content to plink away on Short Siberia for 20 minutes once every other month, get 1 in the black and some on the frame and then announce that their Mosin/Enfield/Israeli re-barreled whatever is a blummin good 'battle rifle' and more than a match for those new fangled plastic AIAW things.
They seem to have no great interest in actually hitting anything in particular. So they equate cheap with good.
Then they go home happy and ( presumably ) re-enact the seige of Leningrad with fixed bayonet in front of ther Mum's Bedroom Mirror.
Which is all fine by me. To each his own I say.

I like it, and ammo is cheap especially compared to 303/308, would make a nice affordable "scout" rifle, put me down for one plus some 10rd mags.

It shoots were I point it. It cost me approx. £250 including the Darrel mount and scope its all matching numbers including the detectable bayonet. Its easy to reload for. I don't have access to a range over 300yds so what is there not to like.? Why would I want to spend loads of money on a black plastic thing that does the same job for stupid amounts of money.Dangermouse wrote:
