Howdy,
I'm looking to make my first foray into rifles. After browsing around a lot, I see some things I like, but never everything I like in one place. Since I'm sure ya'll will know a lot more than I can glean from the internet, here's what I'm looking for:
- Convertible from 5.56 NATO to .22LR
- Legal in California (e.g. can get BulletButton or another workaround)
- Rails on top, hopefully bottom, and bayonet lug a plus
- Preferably not an AR platform (I'm not fond of the direct impingement)
I was very attracted to the Robinson XCR, which meets every criterion except the convertibility to .22 (and it's expensive). Since ammo is so damn expensive, a .22 convertible is a high priority. I know this is a tall order, but I'd like to find something that really suits me before I invest.
If anyone has a favorite rifle that you think would fit the bill, I'd appreciate it if you'd share some stories.
Thanks in advance,
Eric
