Rifle Cabinet
3 gun competition. Looking for ideas on equipment…?
Money is tight. I know I need to get into reloading to make this even feasible for me. That’s not the issue…I’m looking for input on how to add to what I have to get out to the range and make some noise with the fellas.
Have:
1911 .45acp (iron sights, my old “bullseye” gun)
Leather “minimalist” holster (does cover the trigger, but that’s about it) and leather mag pouch (holds 2)
870 express (8 shot tube extention) set up with slug barrell (I like the sights), 30 round shell holder belt, I used this for practical shotgun last year. Even won once.
Have few hunting/trap vests.
Don’t have any semi-auto rifle in the gun cabinet at the moment above a .22lr. I had a Ruger mini-14 years ago…and was less than impressed with the accuracy.
Which rifle will get me out there, with a cartridge that’s the most reasonable to reload? Is there a magazine handling set-up that’s kind of a “go to” set-up?..other than using my pants.
If you are on a budget, the AK platform will serve you pretty well. While not as accurate out of the box as an AR, they are accurate enough for 3-gun, and at least as accurate, if not more so, as a Mini-14. AKs are running about half what an AR is these days. I shoot with several guys who use modified Saigas in 3-gun. They all have red dot sights on a dust cover with a weaver rail.
The good thing about AKs, especially the model 47 is that you can buy Wolf ammo almost as cheap as you can reload in 7.62×39.
An economical alternative for carrying mags is the East German 4-mag pouch, which can be seen here:
