8x57 IS VS .303 British VS 7.62x54R Bolt VS .30-06 Bolt

Also do you guys think .50 cap lock is worth the em?

Sure, why not? Ethical for a wide range of species and it's not bad with the 3x20mm scope. 50-60m max effective range imo.

TY for help guys!

I'd go for the old muzzleloader personally. If I compare what I've been using the most it's definitely that one.
More fun than the others and if not, it'd be the 8x57 Mauser.

I own them all & have to agree the most powerful is the Mosin but the Engfield gets the most use. I just happen to like it.

[Tanngnjostr]

They are all worth the money if you like the old weapons and a good challenge. Even the slightly weak .303 is great fun and I like its looks. If you're looking for the best efficiency and easy kills, then the classic weapons probably aren't your best choice.

Oh, and you need to buy them anyway once "Tweed & Rifles 2019" is happening!

All but the .303 are pretty decent, but I'd go 7.62x54R unless you really must use a scope; then either 8x57 or .30-06 are pretty good.

Definitely yes! It is great fun to use and offers a challenge, sometimes. Plus, it is the only rifle that can shoot everything on Whitehart Island.
My recommendation is to use it without scope.

Or you can go for the 8x57 IS Anschütz 1780 D FL Bolt Action Rifle, which basically is a K98K Mauser with a much better range of scopes.

Love the 8x57 Anschütz, but the Anschütz is no classic rifle

Isn't that the truth.... that's why I hardly use any of the classic rifles...........
except on events & missions.
Though I did like using the Mosin Nagant on Sambar Deer for a short spell,
until the 9.3x74R was released.
And I like it best for now actually on med/big deer types!.................
And keep the Slobber Knockers like the 45/70 Gov & 340 Wbee along for good cause......
