I'll be going to my first gun show this weekend, and while I don't plan on picking anything up, I do want to shoulder a few rifles to see how they fit. Here's some of the things I'm looking for:
1) Reliability. I'd like to pass this rifle on later, or at least take my daughter shooting when she's twelve. Which is another 11+ years.
2) Accuracy. No, it doesn't have to be sub-MOA, but I don't want to be embarassed at the range with it either. 1 MOA is probably a good ballpark, or 2 MOA.
3) Ease of cleaning. I am horrible at this sort of stuff, but I do want to keep my firearms cleaned and lubbed.
4) Cost. I cannot afford something in the four digits, so it needs to be $1k or less.
5) Legal in California. Yes, I heard the collective groan from all of you, but please bear with me.
6) .223 caliber. I'm not hard and fast on this caliber, but I want a centerfire rifle round (not a pistol round) that is relatively cheap and low recoil.
7) Semi-auto preferred.
8) Options other than an AR are greatly preferred. I have nothing against the platform, I think it's awesome, but the only stocks legal here in California are horrid.
I own a CZ 452 FS for all of the reasons above. It's reliable, easy to clean, wonderfully accurate, was a good value, and was chambered in .22LR, so I can afford to shoot it alot and I don't wear out my ears or shoulder.
Thanks all!
