PTR 91 - Good Buy, or Stay Away From?

[Jestik]

Bolt action rifle? For the needs you posted, I would recommend the PTR or the FAL over the M1a or the AR10.

That's my snarky way of saying that his M1A with it's $3000 skeletonized stock that took 8 months to get put on jams a whole hell of a lot.

ahhh. I missed that. lol. That sucks. Mine is a scout that I threw into a GI fiberglass stock. I haven't had any issues with mine to date. From shooting Wolf to the match grade stuff.

Again though, I would choose the PTR 91 as a very reliable "battle rifle" and the M1a for more of a semi auto DMR precision rig. I would love to own both one day. I have a couple AR's and AK's that met my under 300 yard needs, that's why I went with the M1a first as I needed something for beyond that.

That's not a bad price. PTR are about like the other HK clones, not real comfortable to shoot. The short stock, heavy front and funky recoil can take some getting used to. Get a buffer or recoil pad and you'll enjoy them more. I've had several (PTR, G3, Cetme) and they do have a certain "cool" factor to them, but they really aren't on par with the FN-FAL's.

I once had a Russian Tigr that filled the "DMR" role, and I was never impressed by its accuracy, or for that matter, the rifle itself.

That sucks, because the ammo for it has an awesome price tag.

I went ahead and placed the order. Let's hope it gets to Sooner State Pawn by the end of the week. Looking forward to going over and seeing Wes and the guys.

I shoot the ammo in my Mosin Nagant.

Yes sir. I have an M39 that uses it. That thing is a shooter.

So now that I have ordered the rifle, I wonder what sort of ammo I should get for it. I wonder if it would run the Wolf steel cased stuff?

Of course it will.
