Im looking to move up from my .22lr plinker to something more powerful. I have practiced quite a bit using my ruger 10/22. Not a deadeye, but have gotten "handy" with it.
heres some parameters
-I'm 5'9" 150lbs, average reach for my height
-in college, limited funds (500ish price range, maybe exception if AR is best)
-looking for a 16" bbl semiauto carbine, most likely in 5.56 or 7.62x39.
-main purpose will be plinking, shooting reactive targets, possible shtf. but mainly just for fun.
(ps) if shtf, i will be bunkering down. no long distance (200 yard +) needed probably. just a good deterant rifle.
should i look into straight stocked rifles like mini-14/30 or su-16, since im used to shooting my 10/22? or will switching to a pistol grip not really matter?
i like the vepr K rifles. i would assume 7.62x39 would be the best caliber choice for the vepr, since its cheaper, and it will take regular ak mags then.
any advice or answers will be appreciated.
