I have been thinking long and hard about my next gun purchase. I really want an AR, but living here in CA my choices are limited. I can either get an AR with detachable magazines and a weird grip or a glorified breechloader with a non-detachable mag and pistol grip.
As much as I want to get an AR though, I do not know if it would be a very prudent decision. My preliminary research indicates that I need to spend at least $700 for a quality AR. For that sort of money I can get a Yugo SKS, Mossberg 590, and a Ruger 10/22 to practice my marksmanship. Why should I get a weapon that is limited when I can get three weapons--a home defense piece, a SHTF rifle, and a trainer? What do you guys think?
