Looking to get my first semi center fire rifle. The primary role for this piece will be defense with a potential for hunting/pest control. The twist is I don't want a pistol grip. Grew up shooting levers and bolts, while I can run a pistol grip fine they just don't feel right on long guns to me. Also as I've mentioned before my family is fairly anti-gun or at least not pro "modern sporting rifle." Something I can bring back to the family farm and not get asked to remove it would be great, almost happened when I got my first pistol.
With all that out of the way what is even out there? I checked locally for mini 14 on the clearance price but couldn't find one and for full price I'd want something else. Fightlite makes their SCR that I've seen guys put wood furniture on, this is my front runner. I'd go with a SKS but hoping to stay new or at least with some customer support still. M1A is heavier than I like as well. There has to be more than four options out there. Any experience with the above options?
