Bolt Action Rifles as a Survival Gun
I’m almost afraid to ask, Ferfal, but what
do you think about military bolt actions? I’m just not a fan of semi-auto
rifles. I like the simplicity, durability, and accuracy of bolt actions.
Mausers, Enfields, Mosin Nagants, even the new Ruger Scout Rifle. Do you think they are viable alternatives?-A
of the toughest guns you can own. They are chambered for powerful rounds and
can be extremely accurate.
action rifles have served in wars well, they do have the obvious limitation of
not having a quick follow up shot by simply pulling the trigger. With practice you can get fast at it but it
is simply no match for semi-automatic fire, and this problem is even greater in
CQC which is by far the most likely scenario in self-defense.
rifle clearly has an offensive role in its use as a combat firearm and it is
therefore unsuited for defensive purposes.
action rifles can be handy firearms, and while not ideal for defense, they sure
are better than having no gun at all. As a hunting gun they are an obvious
choice.
well known Mauser rifles and other surplus guns. While they have been used in
combat they are large, heavy and not nearly as practical as the modern rifles
on the market. They are not very accurate either. A modern gun will shoot much better than an
old Mauser or Enfield. They have better triggers, better barrels and come ready
for optic mounting. They tend to be lighter too.
in 308W, maybe in Scout configuration with a forward mounted scope. Both Steyr
and Ruger have some interesting offerings.

Bolt action rifles are your best bet in a survival situation. They’re simple, easy to use, and very accurate. Iron sights at the very least but a nice 3X scope is perfect for hunting and self defense.
The 308 Winchester is about as ideal as you can get and will take out nearly any predator in North America albeit 2 or 4 legged.
Styer has superb offerings but they’re pricy. A Remington 700 in a synthetic stock is the way I’d go. It’s economically priced and widely available.
