The hex receivers do tend to be a little better machined than the round, but they all are nothing to brag about. If I had a choice I would go with tula as well. Tula is the star with the arrow, the other one you will most likely see is Izhevsh which is a triangle with an arrow. The bores on these tend to vary quite a bit, so keep an eye out for that.
A good resource to check out is 7.62x54r.net

RaginCajun's first range experience

Hex receivers I think are Tula receivers so may have slightly better machining. I am not really into bolt guns so I say if you want one go cheap so you have more money to buy bigger and better items. I am very happy with my $65 M44 Mosin. If it was worth any more I would sell it! Of course that and my Russian Capture K98 are the only two Bolt guns I have! |
When as a little boy he first went to the range, he wanted to shoot a variety of guns.
He got to shoot a shotgun. I took a lightweight Remington 870 riot gun, loaded magnums into it, and told him to fire it. I did get behind him to catch him.....
He got to shoot a handgun. I took a Ruger .44 mag. deer hunter, showed him how to handle it, and that is what he shot. I stood ready to catch it.
Then, he shot .22's.
Today, he will handle anything that you put into his hands!
