I’ve got one in .303 and one in .308, but my go-to rifles are all Mosin-Nagants. 7.62x54R is cheaper than .303 or .308, just as effective, and there is still a lot of surplus available.
Me thinks the bottom line to this story is that for every haji that has a rifle, there are 10 of us with 10 spares to hand out to the neighbors.
