Just a thought: a simple bolt-action Enfield MkIII 2a in .308 is more than sufficient for term limits enforcement. You can bust milk jugs at 400 yards even with the crappy stock iron sights. All it takes is a little practice.
Makes sense. The old "who wants to be first" threat.
I found a neat little scope mount for mine for about $30.00 on the 'net. My gunsmith installed it for another $50.00. It doesn't interfere with the 'crappy' iron sights in the least.
It turned my $125.00 surplus Ishy into a no crap 600 meter rifle. I can hit a ten inch cast iron skillet at that distance every time with it.
Since I put the sporter stock on it (I put that nice wood a good friend sent to me away after lovingly refinishing it by hand) it might even meet with some effete elitist snob like Zumbos approval.
Not that I give a flying f*** what he approves of anyway. Him or Nugent for that matter.
