When it comes to power, yes. A .300 mag kills just as efficiently as a .338 if it hits the right spot.Stickyreiss said:
BUT
For hunting, there are a number of things that make the two rifles very different. Firstly where are we hunting? In a forest, stalking? Grab the shorter one. Do we have to worry about the weather? Nagant bolt is virtually immune to frost, whereas an Enfield has a habit to freeze up(happened to me more than once). Do we have to worry about taking out more than one animal? Wouldn't be the first time a hunter faces more than one furball. Take out one, the other goes berserk or runs away. take no chances, a charging moose is pantswetting. (also happened to me, had to shoot both).
The Enfield, in good hands, is lightning quick to reload and fire. Nagant isn't slow, but the bolt hammers itself so that it takes considerable force to cog it open again, especially with older rifles. In terms of accuracy there isn't a monumental difference, the condition of the rifle is the deciding factor there: many older rifles suffer from slight barrel corrosion and worn rifling. Personally I feel an Enfield to have better sights and be more accurate at extended ranges. But before buying an old rifle for actual use, check the condition of 1)barrel 2) bolt 3) stock 4) fastenings. Do a complete autopsy or take it to a gunsmith. A broken gun might end up in two parts, the other on the ground and the other through your head.
Suou Pavlichenko presents "Tips for proper lubrication to ensure safe and proper functioning in your PTRD-41"
Step 1: Apply a liberal amount of oil-based lubricants to the head of the barrel.
Step 2: Use a well-rounded surface to evenly coat the lubricant across the length and circumference of the barrel shaft.
Step 3: It helps to have a complete knowledge of your weapon's surface. Practice additional lubrication with other body parts to test your knowledge.
Step 4: Finally, test the surface tension with a quick lick. It should be suitably oily and salty, not gummy.
I hope this has been helpful and you will remember to always properly maintain your PTRD-41.

FIRST: ingrain the rules on the front page into your mind before you start handling weaponsIdealistCommi said:
get a .22LR to start, read up on your state's laws and familiarize yourself, go to your local gun store and look for models that are comfortable (you can ask to see them) pick a few you like and then do some research online about the warranties, reliability issues etc. most ranges have weapons to rent out, try those.
also, getting a rifle and a pistol that can accept the same mags is fuckwin (keltec can use glock 9mm mags)IdealistCommi said:

and thanks, its an awesome pistol
Most of those firearms get used on moose [meese?], though. I'm quite certain that an overwhelming majority of them are hunting rifles.Sgt Doom said:
I always recommend an M14 rifle.TMAN10112 said:
the M14 is heavy, slightly unruely, and cumbersome which requires you to take time and familurize yourself with it, train with it, and spend a great deal of range time with it before you can fully utilize it.
this prevents the weapon from being found by a child or criminal and being used against you. i don't expect a child to be able to pick up an M14 fully loaded and steady the barrel, and i don't expect a criminal to fire successive shots because of the recoil.
also, the M14 is a sexy rifle that fires a deadly round a very long ways off.
however, in general. lever action and bolt action rifles tend to be the best choice for first time buyers. their function tend to be direct and simple to learn and they are not as complex as gas operated weapons nor require as much cleaning as them. try and stick with the smaller bastardized rounds or pistol rounds like the .30-30, .22LR, or .45 ACP.
i personally would suggest sticking with Colt and Ruger weapons... but that is just my personal prefrence.
