There were the H&K SL-8 and SL-6 which used the company's roller-delayed action and were very cool rifles in their own right
You are probably thinking of the SL-7, not the SL-8. Both the SL-6 and -7 used roller-delayed blowback. The SL-8 uses a gas system, as it is based on the G36.
I don't know. I Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle with a wood stock and 5 round magazine looks pretty tame."Non-military" type rules out the Remington AR's, as well as the Ruger Mini's.

Maybe you can find a used Winchester Model 88 or Model 100 in .358 Winchester calibre. It wasn't a big seller when it came out, so a lot of them have been fired very little.Looking for large caliber. I want to add a heavy caliber to the safe. Something with a relatively short barrel, iron sights to be used for hunting 150 yards and less. I was thinking semi-auto action might help absorb some of the recoil. Looks like the only true large caliber semi-auto that fits the bill would be the BAR in .338WM

Yea, Thats what I was kind of thinking, But to each there own.
I interpreted non military as not being an Evil Black Rifle or being built for the military. Yes, it was based on the M14, so that might disqualify it. It really depends on how the OP is defining "non military."I don't know. I Ruger Mini-14 Ranch Rifle with a wood stock and 5 round magazine looks pretty tame.
does the fact that you live in california have anything to do with the non-military gun?
Yeah, with detachable magazines, 10+ round capacity, pistol grips, flash suppresors, bayonet lugs and all that other stuff that typically surrounds military design weapons it becomes an issue in California and what actually makes a CA "assault weapon". Unless you want to deeply delve into the legality issue and expolore the grey areas like many do, I don't. That's why I'm leaning toward only rifles specifically designed for the civilian market...odds are I won't have any of those issues with them.does the fact that you live in california have anything to do with the non-military gun?
Yes,I Understand that but a 10/22 is like a military weapon, It is semi automatic and has a wood stock! Even though it looks tame it can be pretty BA too. You ca also slap in a 10- 90 round magazine in it. Your argument is really pointless.
