It sounds like a K98 Mauser. A qualified gunsmith should be sought to determine its chambering (cartridge size) and condition for use.

the best kind is the tippmann 98 custom.  you can customize the crap out of it and still get more than your money's worth in accuracy.  plus it would be a mega gun that can compete with and costs less that an autococker.  Ive got a flatline barrel and stock on mine and i get really good performance out of it

Bound's hubby here:\n\nWell ... its like this ... the only way you will find a Winchester Model 70 "Stealth" is on a used gunrack ... Winchester (as American hunters and shooters know it) closed its doors in March of this year, and the Model 70, along with the Model 94, have been discontinued from production. In talking to a representative from Browning (a sibling company of US Repeating Arms, both owned by Fabrique Nationale ... who decided to close Winchester) I was told that the future or the Model 70 (re-introduction) is very uncertain ... none can be made for 2 years, and anything beyond that is pure speculation.\n\nNow, comparing the rifles. I am not prejudiced ... I would love to get a Model 70 Stealth ... it is the closest thing to a Model 70T to come out of Winchester in almost 30 years! My shooting partner has one, I like it! The Model 70 Stealth is a very good varmint rifle. It can be built up as a long range rifle ... but it would require a high comb "marksman" style stock, micrometer adjustable metallic (front & rear) target sights and bases, and an appropriate long range scope base with a target scope of your choice for NRA long range competition. These add-ons will cost about $2000 over the cost of the Model 70 Stealth ... if you do all of the labor! The comb on the factory stock is usually too low for comfort when shooting a "long range type rifle scope", and you WILL become fatigued holding and cranning your neck in the course of a 20+ shot course of fire for 30 minutes (a single stage of fire).\n\nThe Remington 700 PSS is in the same general category as the Model 70 Stealth, but you are throwing away more money than you need to. The Model 700 PSS is a police package counter-sniper rifle, that is basically a Model 700 Varmint rifle gone cop. You would be better served purchasing a Remington 700 VLS in .308 Winchester. You would have to make the same modifications listed above for the Model 70 Stealth. By the way, Remington Customer Service and Support is great. I have not heard of, or experienced any problems with their rifles. I did have a rifle problem with my 700 Varmint about 10 years ago (5 years after I bought the rifle) and Remington took care of it very favorably! I would not hesitate to go with a Remington!\n\nAs an aside, a little about the game you wish to enter, and a more affordable way to enter it, if I may. \n\nNRA Long Range involves prone shooting of bulls-eye targets at now, 800, 900, and 1000 yards. There are two "Divisions" of rifles here: Division A (which I believe is Service Rifle) and Division B (which I believe is Match Rifle), or vice versa. \n\nAll Long Range "Service Rifle" matches are fired with either the M16/AR15 (don't wet your pants laughing), the M1 Garand, or the M14/M1A rifle, IRON SIGHTS only!\n\nAll Long Range "Match Rifle" matches are fired in 2 parts ... metallic sights (iron sights only) and any sights (rifle scopes permitted). \n\nThe most important add-on piece of equipment a shooter needs in his kit for Long Range is a VERY GOOD spotting scope, such as the KOWA or LEICA scopes ... expect to pay at least $500 for the scope, plus the eye-piece and the scope stand! \n\nTo be well equipped and kinda competitive, you will drop about $4000 in equipment (for Match Rifle). If you were going to shoot Service Rifle, you can get into it a lot less expensively! You have two options: an M1 Garand or an M1A.\n\nIf you go M1 Garand, you can get an M1 Garand from the CMP for about $500. Send your rifle out for a National Match barrel, National Match sights, a new stock, trigger job and glass bedding, and this will set you back maybe $1000 above the rifle. The benefit of the Garand is the .30-06 chambering, which will give you more "umphh" at the thousand yard line. \n\nIf you go for the M1A,  you can get a M1A National Match for just over $2100, ready to go in .308. \n\nNOW ... no matter whether you go Mat

Thompson Center makes an affordable model chambered in a variety of calibres. They are single shots and without the recoil mechanism of an automatic will have a bigger kick, not to mention you may only have time for one shot so make it count.

Send it to a gunsmith as far as I know, if there's an alternative I didn't find it for mine and it's heavy enough to be something I'd like to have fixed. \n\nThe second link, below, talks about some of the issues you are seeing. They recomend DIY modifications, not something I could recomend in these litigation happy days.\n\nThere are a few places offering instructions or instructional CDs on how to do your own. I've included one link below, naturally this comes with the usual caveats, if you monkey with your trigger according to these directions and it all goes horribly wrong don't come crying to me. Personally, when it reaches the top of my list I'll send it to someone who can do warranty work if they make a mess of it.

who keeps telling you people the ak is inaccurate? the m16 is crap. talk to any sodier thats been to combat & youll see, Kalashnikov is far better & more accurate.

You have not really given enough info to answer.  What is its condition.   One way for you to find out is to go to library and look in the Blue Book Of Gun Values.

I had one and it was nothing special other than the fact that it was expensive and looked nice. Other than that really just an average gun. Kind of a novelty gun like its big brother. The best guns I've used recently are the XD line from springfield armory, I would pick one of those up and quite a few others before I bought a baby eagle

I started shooting IDPA matches with a .45 GLOCK 36.  It was a miserable gun, jamming every 20-30 rounds.  A buddy had one as well, and his was similar.  I traded it in for a GLOCK 19 and absolutely love it.  I put about 2-3,000 rounds through it without cleaning it (!) before I had my first jam (leaning around a wall one handed, so it was maybe just limpwristing).  I love it, but it is a bit large for carry.  I'm looking to get a S&W 642 or Taurus 851 to try out.  I like shooting 1911s, but they're big and most seem to be a little finicky-- not what I want in a carry weapon.

I go with a bolt action; Remington 700, Savage's model 16, or the model 10/110 also from Savage.  All rifles from Savage come from the factory ready for optic sights(scopes) and have the bbl floated(from the factory.  Floated bbl's are more acurate.  Don't look at price when looking for ammo.  You get what you pay for.  Premium ammo costs more but it shoots and performs better.  Save the cheap stuff for practice.  When it comes to caliber, here are my picks: .270 Winchester Short Magnum(my round of choice that I have killed 2 Caribou and a Dall Sheep in Alaska with; very fast, very accurate to well over 500 meters{I've done 1MOA goups at 800m durring practice a couple of times, it's hard to find a civillian range that has the ability and space to let you shoot past 200m.... big brother and I just went out into the AZ desert somewhere and shot}, enough ass to kill all game but Kodiak bear and probibly moose), .30-06 Springfield(old but old for a reason... IT WORKS!), .308 Winchester(7.62x51, the round of choice for precision Haji hunting and US med. machine guns), .300 Winchester Magnum(hits hard, shoots straight, requires getting used to the recoil, will kill anything, excellent round overall), .270 Winchester(another good all around cartiridge, it's kinda a small .30-06, been around for a while and that means ammo is readily available), and any variant of 7mm(accurate and powerful, but I don't have much experience with it.  I just know some guys that love it).  Don't go for any 7.62x39.  That round loses alot of ass/accuracy after 300 meters.  Train yourself to be surgical at 500 and you will be golden come hunting season.  It's the Indian not the arrow my friend.

Unhappy.\nHowever there are many different and important factors to keep in mind. The 556 is a small round. Its actually a 22 caliber round.  It is very light weight. Much less then the 7.62x51 (308 winchester). However the 556 is meant to be fired at full auto. The 7.62x51 (by which i will refer to as the 308) is much heavier much more powerful and has too much recoil for full auto. The 308 is still used as a sniper round, even though several others are much better, such as 30-06, or several other (e-mail me and i will tell you why they use the 308) and the 308 is the ammo used for the M240 light machine gun. the 208 is the perfect round for the light machine gun. Say any different and my brother will mix words with you. \nWhatever the government says, the 556 was designed to penetrate soviet body armor. It mushrooms when passing through body armor and actaully has more shock value (due to increased surface area) despite going through the armor. It takes too many hits to take down an opponet and wastes too much ammo. Its really a shame, because there are civial loads of 556 (teachnically 223, because they are on the civilan market) that have much heavier bullets and have far greater stopping power.\n\nthe 6.8 is too dangerous.  Say you are a Marine Force Reacon guy, or Amry Ranger and you are shooting these great 6.8 bullets and killing every enemy. No problem, right? But wait.... You have run out of ammo. you can not resupply from friendly troops, and no one has 6.8 anywhere. You are screwed.  \n\n6.8 is battering M16's to death too. its way too powerful for the gas operating systems and the recievers.\nIf we had new guns built to stronger tolerances then 6.8 would really be great.

first off the low life that called you a bit.ch was way out of line. and as far as an ak-47 there are many variants of them available. even the russian ones have become available from the manufacturer saiga. most countries have made there own versions. all based on the same design that mikhail kalishnikov designed. if you are looking for a vietnam era ak-47 be prepared to spend some tall cash. $1000+ would be an average combat rifle. a collector piece will run alot more. being in that era im sure youre husband must be very familiar with an m-16. but it is well known that alot of u.s service men took the ak-47s from enemys because they were more reliable. not nearly as accurate though. with the addition of chrome lined chambers and the forward assist the m-16 became much more reliable. they also changed to stick powder which made a vast reliability improvement. www.gunbroker.com is a great auction site for firearms. also shotgun news magazine is a great place to find collector firearms. i hope you find what you want. by the way i have a nice russian saiga with a factory side mount that i will get rid of for a very fair price. email or instant message me if you want more details.
