trackend said:The SMLE would be no good for hunting its a soldiers gun for people killing if you want to hunt you buy a hunting rifle converting army rifles for hunting is a bodge job it would be like using an Express 600 for shooting ducks or a 12 bore for sniping.
I just give that information to prove the good quality of the action 98, in the K-98K you could use all the gama of ammo for the 8 mm, including armor piercing, tracer , High pressure V-max cartrigdes, Beobachtungs ( german 'De Wilde') etc.
In some others bolt actions military rifles like Mosin Nagant, Enfield, Berthier, etc, you cannot do that and the special ammo is stenciled "only for MG" "only for aircraft use"... and so
