Best gun: fun/$?

I like my tactical 10/22 for fun also.

I have to admit for a cheap big bang my Mosin Nagant 91/30 I got for 99 bucks is fun to shoot and ammo is rather cheap if you get the bulk russian surplus rounds.

As far as "fun", its a bit subjective.

If you want to improve as a shooter, then something that is accurate and inexpensive to shoot is tough to beat.

This was a $300 rig shooting federal auto match bulk.

Try this:



here is a closeup of the increase in bone shattering diameter that is achieved:



30 cal to 45 cal, mass from 110gr to 250gr. If velocity is still 1900fps, well, are the hollowpoints overkill?

My head is going to explode with all these huge ass pictures. There are online image resizers, or you can use mspaint to size them down.

LOL didn't realize what it did.

Ok, I have been thinking alot about this and have finally come to a conclusion that I am sure most of you will laugh at.

My most fun gun that I enjoy shooting the most in my mini 14. It is a "tactical" model with a black synthetic stock, factory 20 round magazine, and a flash hider like this one-





The reasons I like it so much is because I love the iron sights on it. They are probably the best irons I have ever used, and for some reason I am just damn accurate with this gun. I don't shoot much past 100 yards, but this gun does everything I need it to do and feels natural to me, and the recoil is very low.

See, I like pistol grips and tactical whatnots, but the mini 14 just feels more like a traditional rifle that I grew up shooting. I just enjoy the hell out of it. Oh, and did I mention I got it for free . A friend of my dad won it in a raffle and I was admiring it in his office one time. He said that he hated minis and that he was going to let me borrow it (besides, the guy already has one). I shot it and loved it, and offered to pay him $500 for it, but he said to just keep it! I owe him one for sure.

I need to research the mini-14 sights. I'm used to the M-16 sights and that's partially why I love the ARs. Nothing wrong with loving a rifle due to sights and you being accurate with them.

Yeah, I'm hating a little though since you got it for free.

For the money the funnest gun I have to shoot is my S&W 22A, 7" barrel with a Burris Fastfire II on it. It eats any kind of cheap .22LR ammo I have used in it and is very accurate for a $200 gun. I also get Aguila match pistol ammo from CTD for $30/500 and then it shoots really good groups.
