modern "fighting bolt gun" hypothetical- update at end

[boltcatch]

i have a K98 i bought from them years ago, and i really like it, but it doesnt get shot much due to the ammo availability.

That's why I'm glad I bought a full crate of surplus Prvi 7.92mm a few years back... $75 per 900 rounds. I'm only half way through it, but I get to shoot the K98 as much as I like.

I would take a M40A1 with a S&B short dot on it

Not everything has to have a practical use or goal.

Excellence in long range marksmanship is a goal in and of itself.

I'd need a Sherpa to stand there with me just to keep me from falling asleep from boredom.

Not really into the "goal in and of itself" thing.

Might also want to double check on that whole thread title thing, modern "fighting bolt gun".

Well, I split the baby and got 2 rifles- a CZ 527 in 7.62x39 and an SPS .308. The CZ is going to be a GP light rifle.

Has anybody else made a move on starting a similar project since this thread ran its course the first time around? Just curious.

Reading around and read this thread since I am waiting for something to finish d/ling.

I will be the odd ball. I shoot them often due to having so much ammo, buy cheap stack deep! The M44 Mosin-Nagant rifle as is not changed or modernized. Hey if they are close enough it is the ultimate club/pike. I just enjoy them. For distance though my Win. Pre-64 Mod. 70 in .30-06. Thank God though we can own our semi-autos and NFA guns.
