Scoped SKS. (7.62X39mm)
Sorry to everyone suggesting an AR, I'm just not a fan of the complexity of the mechanism and multiple ways to failure.
Don't feel too personally offended. Others, with PLENTY of multiple-platform experience aren't suggesting that an AR-15 is the perfect rifle for him and his girlfriend, based on their criteria, so it isn't like he's refusing the "One True" answer.You're asking advice from people with multiple platform experience yet discounting their advice because it conflicts with your pre/conceived notions which aren't based on experience.
A good AR can be had for a price within throwing distance of the minis.
While an AR might be somewhat complex, literally every single part is user replaceable and available from almost every vendor on the planet.
Everything else is either a compromise in accuracy, serviceability, capacity or weight compared to an AR.
Good luck.

The Rossi I handled seemed just as nice as my Marlins (which are older).Rossi 92 or Marlin 1894c prior 2005 both sound good to me....Is there a dramatic quality difference between the two? If I found a used Marlin for not much more than the price of a new Rossi I would assume that's the best choice.
Wow, to each their own. That woudn't be on my list. Capacity is less than half the '92, and the revolving rifle concept was tired and discarded in the 19th century.That Taurus/Rossi circuit judge is a sweet looking gun! I know that kinda deviates from my "traditional" criteria, but the simplicity of the design is what I find appealing...
