What's a decent bolt action .308 rifle that comes with irons?

Why would they kick me out? I've been to three gun shops and none of them sell used guns. They looked at me weird and said "nobody really buys used guns anymore". I felt like a retard

bolt guns don't come with irons standard anymore unless it's milsurp, you're gonna have to have a gunsmith install some.

If you're fine with milsurp, literally any bolt-action will do.

I recommend being flexible on caliber (look at rifles in .30-06) and then go on armslist etc. Old FN Mausers, Remington 700s, a wide variety of milsurp etc.

Try a pawn shop. Just spend a couple of bucks on a bore light so you can make sure the rifling isn't a rusted mess.

Anything Remington or Winchester made will be decent to very good.

I'm pretty sure you are full of shit because I have never seen a gun store that did not sell used guns.
>>
>>33922358
While the stock was pretty, the varnish/coating on the wood felt like CHEAP polyurethane; the trigger felt chinsy and had a lot of takeup; the finish was decent, but was not even and there were discolorations.

It felt like a $600 rifle.

Cabela's is almost always pants on head retarded with used gun (especially milsurp) prices, but I've seen a fee deals...but that's been over a few years of looking once every month or so.

>>33922389

I should add if buying milsurp or milconversions buy a bore gauge because the craftmanship on conversions is crap and .308 chambered milsurp may have a shot out bore

They're pretty nifty, there's a rustic and interestingly thrifty appeal about an old surplus Mauser being rebored for 7.62mm NATO because your army desperately needs anything they can get.

>>33922556
It'd be cheaper than a Ruger Scout I think, those go for above $1000 I'm pretty sure, while the Henry lies at, or below that. It's also remarkably accurate.

Of course, capacity is only 4+1rds.

>>33922581
The Ruger American is pretty good, ticks all the boxes for a utilitarian boltgun in .308/.270/etc, attractive pricing without feeling TOO cheap.
(if you don't like the plastic stock, you could look at a Boyd hardwood stock later some day, looks pretty slick).
>>
>>33922411
I collect antique Winchester leverguns.

I LOVE their pricing scheme. Everything's based around "NRA fair" Blue Book value (which is always lower than the Red Book WACA puts out, which is actually researched extensively and closer to market value), regardless of whether it's a rusted, finish-less basic bitch round barrel full mag with a split stock or whether it's a pristine, half-round half-octagonal button-mag special order rifle.

I've made probably close to $70,000 just off Cabela's laziness on pricing on 1892's alone over the course of ~12 years.
>>
>>33922581
Trigger is better than average for a production boltgun. 3-lug bolt/~60* bolt throw is nice. Extractor is better-than-Remshit but overall meh compared to Tikka/Howa. Stock is fucking junk, but then again EVERYBODY's factory synthetic stocks are junk (including Tikka). Accuracy is good, sub-1" 3-shot groups at 100yd most of the time. Enormous bolt body gets kinda annoying and adds unnecessary weight.

I would personally prefer a Howa unless the low bolt throw matters a lot to you.

>Nope, stop looking at bargin bin models they sell at Dicks and go look at a proper 700 CDL. Not a 700 SPS or hell even a model 7.

Top of the line Remingtons are the best modern production USA made rifles.

>>33925878
The rifle was used, but not like it was used hard, they still wanted $700. I am not saying it was indicative of the CZ line, but if it was, they are garbage.
>>
>>33927666
Also nice trips.

Ill post close up pics of the bolt, finish, safety, etc of my rifle for you. Just tell me what you want close ups of and I'll show you what Remington quality actually is.

My only anecdotal experience with Remington was shopping online for a new Mossberg barrel, accidentally the part number, ordered a Remington barrel. It came to me with rust on the barrel, red powdery rust all up and down the length of the barrel. And the finish on new Remington shotguns also feels awful.
>>

That is not standard. Go handle a few at your LGS next time you are there. Yes, you need to oil a blued gun after handling it. If you don't it's your own fault if it rusts.

>>33929120
a $750 CZ gun is the equivalent of a $1200 USA made gun because of labor costs. You cant compare a $750 CZ gun to a $750 USA gun because the USA made gun has to cut on materials and QC to make that price.
>>
>>33928847
Remington is trash now. Scope holes drilled off center, barrels screwed on off center, the R51, compare a 1990s 870 with a new 870. It's trash off the shelf now. The only thing keeping it going is it's name, and you must realize, that its changed owners quiet a few times, its unfair to compare remingtons of back in the day with czs of today, and vice versa, but currently, I would rather buy milsurp than remington. And Cz's are nice.

I'm a gunsmith. not a fucking dvd special faggot brownells fucking fag shit. I have a full machine shop. Do you know how many rugers and savages I have to work on? fucking none. But I have worked over so many remingtons they make me sick to look at. 80% of the time, I take the barrel off, recut barrel and reciever threads, so that the shoulder CAN be trued to the receiver. 20% the scope holes are off, making the rifle unshootable past the zeroing distance. "at 300yards my scope is cranked all the way left". I live in a huge hunting area. Everyone who has a remington has work done to it. I'm sorry guys, its the design of the rifle. Remington COULD be good, if they kept up there QOC. It's literally the design of the rifle. Ruger and Savage figured it out, lock nut, if you thread correctly, all other dimensions are irrelevant to accuracy, and the lock nut demands concentricity by its nature. Fuck people, if they cant keep their bolt handles on, they probably cant internally and externally thread within 1/1000 of an inch?
>>
Savage hog hunter. Cheap, accurate, threaded, iron sights. Best bang for your buck rifle. Fit and finish are lacking but a little work on your end and they work really well.

>>33929347
Prove it.

I have never had an issue with a Remington, and I have had several over the years. Ruger is shit, I have an M77 as well. Oh, and I have a winchester 70 too. Oh, and a savage.

I will give you the savage has a nicer trigger, but for the overall package the Remingtons have all been better.

Pretty fucking embarrassing of Remington to not be able to compete with those.

>>
>>33929459 It's possible to get good ones. I'm just saying, in the last 5 years, 700's and 870s have crashed. How would I prove it? I'll just show you my log books. Do some research on bolt gun designs, you will begin to understand.

exactly i just said that. Of course they are on par with similarly priced US models. CZ labor is far cheaper than US labor. You MUST compare the CZ to a higher priced US gun for a true equivalency. Oh and its not a scotsman fallacy. Obviously discount remingtons have worse QC and materials. Why do you think they are cheaper? Magic? They arent as good you fucking fool. US labor costs 30% more than labor in eastern europe.

No modern rifle should shoot less than an moa. That is a fact. There is no excuse at any point for less precision than that. Any modern bolt action not capable of that is garbage. I dont care if it costs $100.

>>
>>33929924
Oh I see now. You like paying more money for a rifle that "feels better", and says Remington. After a little use, other cheaper rifles get smooth. The remington 700 is the savage axis of the 70s. People didnt like remington because they used basically a pipe for a receiver unlike winchesters mausers etc... but the round receiver was efficient and comparably, easier to machine. They have their place, but they need quality machining. i can take one and make it shoot a ragged hole at 100yards. but the remington factory cannot.
>>
>>33929961

Read the comments, fool. Everyone in that thread who said they had it happen, said it happened on their model 7s, which I already addressed. Hell, the one dude has had over a dozen 700s, and never experienced it.

Are you trying to prove my point?
>>
>>33930013
My Remington factory shoots groups <.75". You are full of it; and that's with my shooting using a towel as a rest.
>>
>>33930047
And my Remington 700 Sendero SFII was a 5-MOA gun out of the box and required extensive gunsmithing to make shoot well.

You got lucky. Many do not.
>>
>>33930013
MOA = inch groups at 100 yards

More MOA means larger groups, you want low MOA, meaning tight groups.
>>
>>33930065

>blaming the rifle for the user
kek No, I do not believe for a second you got a remington from the factory that was only capable of 5 moa.

>I-It never happens!
Yeah, staking or welding the bolt handle isn't one of the most popular mods done to the 700 or anything.

Because you are counting their discount models. From the start I said we are only talking about their proper models. If the MSRP on your Remington is <1000 you deserve to have it blow up in your face.
>>
>>33931995
Why is it that Remington are so fucking awful at making discount guns when Ruger, Savage, Smith & Wesson, etc make budget guns just fine?

Why do you hear stories about Remshit rusting, slamfiring and snapping ejectors, with all their shotguns, when you never hear that about Mossberg or Savage's low budget pump guns?

The Ruger P95 was a chunky piece of fuck but it worked flawlessly and was cheap, when Remington tried to make their own full sized 9mm pistol, the RP9, they shit the bed in every which way and charged more for it than a Glock.

There's something fundamentally bad about Remington if they can't make economy tier weapons without fucking up compared to other companies, or when they try to make a normal service pistol which a Hi-Point runs circles around.
>>

Poor people owning Remingtons damage the brand. I don't want some pissant who buys a Mossberg to be able to afford a proper Remington.

Remington underperforms and they are punished by their own failures in the free market.
