Hi fellow gun enthusiasts!
Right now I'm in a state of moving to great country of Canada from not so firearm tolerating country of Poland. Horay! With it a question of SHTF/TEOTWAWKI as well as a hunting rifle have arised. So far i narrowed my choise down to 2 rifles
Ruger Gunsite Scout rifle http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html
AIA M10B1 http://world.guns.ru/civil/austr/aia-m10-e.html
Both of them fall into scout rifle concept (M10 laking the front mounted scope wich I dislike anyway).
Both have detachable magazines in .308Win (as i heard M10 can take slightly modiffide M14 mags wich is a substantial plus).
As far as I understand Ruger uses battle proven Mouser style bolt and M10 is basically a Lee Enfield, so I'm not sure wich one gets a point here.
Another great point goes to M10 for it's price (seeing how I'm a student and all).
Ruger is lighter, especially with new polymer mags, but so far it's the only advantage that I can see.
And that is basicaly it. What are Your thoughts? Which one YOU would choose? Why?
Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes that I've made along the way.
