Other than older .30 caliber rifles, like my Mosin, or intermediate rounds, like the 7.62x39, I don't own anything modern or harder hitting than pistol rounds. (Well, I do have my M38 Swedish Mauser, but I don't want to scope it.)
I want to buy a single .308 rifle. Accuracy is important, as well as the ability to reach out and touch someone. It will mostly be used for fun and target practice. I am totally torn on whether to get a classic bolt-action or a modern semi. And if I choose the semi route, which one? AR10, M1A, Saiga, etc?
I will want it accurate and scoped. Price limit without optics is $1100. My other requirement is easy to strip and clean....or in regards to a semi-auto, at least relatively easy to strip and clean.
