Your either an AR fan or an AK fan these days. Either way you've successfully gained understanding of the first letter of the alphabet, but despite this relationship AR owners and AK owners do not like each other.
So what of us who don't own either but want a good semi-auto for a reasonable price? That's what's had me googling for the past half-hour. I can't find a rifle that has a better track record of reliability than the AR, and has a record of better accuracy than the AK. I'm not looking for AR-AK hybrid, just something that fits the bill of a good semi-auto but keeps me far, far away from either owners group.
I keep thinking about the Mini-14. But where on earth can you find one for under $800? Then there was the idea of a CETME, but the quality apparently ranges from "simply amazing" to "it's not worth a damn past 50 yards".
What do semi-auto owners who do not own AR's or AK's own?
