What’s the best made and accurate Japanese rifle?

[KneverKnew]

It’s clear to me that I will not be able to afford one of these rifles anytime soon, to get one in reasonably good shape. So you guys enjoy your Arasaka rifles. Thanks for all the historical info. It’s always a pleasure to learn more about these guns.

Never give up the hunt! National auction sights usually draw deeper pockets…comb pawn shops, estate sales, small time in-person auctions and small gun shows…believe me, even a blind squirrel eventually finds a nut. You can still find good deals when some people believe Japanese rifles are “crappy rifles that will blow up on you”. This is where you get can still find deals.

Japanese rifles are “crappy rifles that will blow up on you”.

Always thought that was pretty funny. I understand the truth is they are amongst the very strongest.

I agree with JRod...don't give up! I posted a thread a few weeks ago about the all-matching with full Mum I picked up at an auction for $350. There are still affordable rifles out there, you just have to keep searching. Admittedly, I was a searching for a Type 99 for my friend when this one came along, but I couldn't pass it up for my own collection. Half the fun is the hunt!
