I agree with Polack. It’s ammo first. In total for me its ammo, high grade spare parts, people to ask about it before I buy and people to ask when it breaks.

Yep. I've got 7.62's, 5.56's, and an 8 mm so if I bought another, it would be ideally intermediate in caliber with lots of cheap ammo around.

Next one on my radar is a US Property marked Savage Enfield No4 MK I .

The Swiss is a neat rifle, had a couple. Ammo not easy, the mil stuff is Berdan primed which I did reload after buying a depriming tool that is cartridge specific, works with water pressure, no really it does. I believe Hornady makes ammo for it though if you can find some. Of those three the SMLE would be last for me.

I plan on getting into reloading anyway so it won't be too much of a problem.

Swiss rifles are known for being accurate, Swiss k is a cool rifle it is different.

Those are my main reasons for wanting one.

If you can find a nice one I'd go for the straight pull Swiss.

It won't be your primary Zombies, Martians, Red Dawn, Armageddon, rifle so the ammo you need will be pretty few match hand loads.

Either that rifle or a nice Swedish Mauser will probably put you in a class with the better match m1As at a lot less dough.

I have a m39 and love it. I would recommend it if you already have a few mosin's.
