[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1891458, member: 7157"] lol - you guys have this pretty well in hand! Like milsurp with the very distracting avatar said, an original M94 is probably going to be well outside the $500 budget, and so will most M1903's. If the OP [B]has[/B] to have a bent bolt (presumably for a scope; otherwise, I don't know why as straight bolts work just fine) then with the $500 budget he's going to be limited to pretty much what's already been named here. If I were working with those two requirements, I'd look for a Swedish M38; if the bent bolt is to clear a scope, then I'd zero in on the K31. It doesn't have a bent bolt, but it's a straight-pull action so scope clearance isn't a big issue, is very accurate, and can be scoped easily with no permanent modifications. Heck, no modifications are needed at all - just bolt on a St. Marie scope mount in the receiver cut-out, attach a scope, and go to town. Of course, it'd help if the OP has a reloading setup. If not... I'd look at rifles chambered for 30-06. [/QUOTE]
