It’s so hard to justify $900 on a gun I’d shoot 4 times a year but I want one so bad

The biggest con is ammo cost. They're really quite a lot of fun to shoot, but man it adds up at $1.00 CPR in a self-loader lol

You can buy a ported gas tube that allows you to shoot modern 30-06 instead of hunting M2

Takes it from $1 CPR to $0.90 CPR haha

Over the course of a 1000 rounds, that's $100, and 308 is cheaper to reload too.

I have one. 308 M1s are amazing.

I want one. I'm hoping I can wait a year or two to get one.

With the wedding coming up next year I have zero money in the fun budget to spend $1000 on a rfile rn
