Going for PAL in November

Hello There:

I am going for my PAL in November and I have bin looking at rifles (non-restricted) just to see what my options will be when I get my license. I just want to see what recommendations and/or advice I could get from here.

There was a few rifles I was looking at:

Rifles:

  1. Wk180/180 gen or the new-ish the 7.62 version
  2. A Mosin Nagant
  3. A Carcano
  4. A SKS preferably the Russian version
  5. A lever action

Looking forward to the comments.

Don't get a WK they jam a lot and even the gen 2 are a hassle and need upgrades like deflectors and more rail space just to shoot comfortably... Crusaders are a better choice or fully mod out a SKS to something more modern. Golden boy are good lever actions if you want a suggestion.
