[QUOTE="z06man, post: 1577840, member: 6182"] OP, there are SOOOOO many choices out there. I'd suggest starting small and inexpensive. If you like it (and you very probably will), you can expand your knowledge and collection from there. A couple of great starter options are the Mosin 91/30 and a Yugo Mauser. They're both readily available, can be found in very good to near new condition, ammo is readily available and cheap and are generally good shooters making them fun to own and shoot. Just for an idea of the costs involved, you can get the Mosin for 100 bucks or less. You can find Yugo 24/47 and M48's for $150-200. Ammo for either is around $75 for a can of 400-450 if you shop around or find a deal at a gun show. You might want to get a slip on rubber butt pad to. That's a lot of pounding from a steel plated buttstock for the uninitiated. Welcome to the insanity. [/QUOTE]
