.308 single shot?

Question

NEF Survivor Rifle 308 Winchester, 22" Heavy Barrel. are they good what are the pro and cons. i want it to shoot at the range and maybe a little hunting. i already have a rem. 740 30-06 but this looks fun to shoot. im not a bad shot so im not worried about that. so help me out if you can guys. and whats a good price for one?

Answer 1

I have one in 223 for my kids and it shoots great. They are very accurate the only issue is the trigger. Not nearly as crisp as a bolt action. Howevery for the price a great gun that you will not mind dropping or scratching and will kill a deer as far away as you shoud be shooting.

The best gun is one you like, are not afraid to shoot or scratch, and you can afford.

Answer 2

If I'm going to shoot a modern high-pressure centre-fire cartridge like the .308, I want a bolt with at least two big fat locking lugs between my face and the chamber. I'm not saying the break-open is unsafe - if it weren't safe, T/C would be out of business along with NEF - but still I worry about everything holding together, including the stock lug, which if I'm not mistaken is merely soldered to the barrel.

Answer 3

I have found the New England Firearms to be a pretty good buy. The are not bad at all. I have several, with interchangeable barrels. I had a roll up nylon case made for 3 of them, which carries the stock/receiver in one slot, and a .22 lr barrel, a 20 gauge barrel and a .308 barrel all rolled up into a tight bundle, one of these is in the trunk of my car, and one is behind the seat of my truck as part of my emergency kit that I always carry.

Answer 4

You should be able to get one for around $200.00. It would be hard to beat the value-for-dollar of these guns, and given proper care, they will last a long time. They are also suprisingly accurate.
