Default Re: Rate the rifles

Have you ever fired any or all of these rifles?

The Type 99 Japanese rifle and its earlier 6.5mm cousin are really garbage guns. The action is very stiff and hard to work. The safety is impossible to set. They are clumsy and long; particularly the 7.7mm. The sights are iffy at best. There is alot of nonsense on the guns too. The 7.7mm has a monopod wire stand on it. Worthless. It sinks in soft soil and is wobbly in the best of conditions. The little flip down antiaircraft sights are absolutely stupid.
Of the group given I'd rate the Japanese gun as the worst by a large margin.
