Hi all, I'm looking for some advice. I need a home defense/truck rifle with the following attributes:
-Rifle & 2-3 mags must be $900 max.
-Ambi or lefty friendly (but not a lefty rifle).
-6mm+ round, with plinking ammo no more than $1/round (I do not reload and I get ammo online so I don't care about availability or brass or what ammo walmart carries).
-Minute of Bad Guy out to 300 yards.
-Compact as possible without going NFA.
-Reliable in any condition, doesn't take eons to maintain.
I was leaning towards a converted Saiga or Veper (in 7.62x39 or 308), but would LOVE to hear what people think would best fulfill those constraints. Thanks for sharing the opinions and experience!
