For the last couple years I have been buying old bolt guns and have had little interest in modern autoloaders. Well, now it's time for a new home defense carbine. Looking for something light and handy, not set on caliber. It would also be my go-to evac rifle in case of disaster, etc. My home defense has been the 12ga but I'm looking for something new.
What I want:
-Light
-Handy
-Readily available ammo
-Compact
-Budget is $600 or less
I'll likely mount a small holo sight on it.
Rifles I do NOT want:
-AR
-Hi Point Carbine
-SKS
-M1 Carbine
I have looked long and hard at the Keltec SU-16CA. It's light, handy, stores mags in the stock and would be perfect for a holo sight. Also uses AR mags. Looking for suggestions to see if I left anything out that I should consider. Thought about an AK, but not sure if I want to go that route or not.
