My home defense rifle is a Universal M1 Carbine. It shoots well but I want to retire and maybe hang it on the wall. It was my Dad's gun. He gave it to me and is full of memories and sentimental value. Also, I'm starting to see some of the misfire problems other folks have seen with Universals. And in these ammo poor times, .30 Carbine is very rare.
Anyway, I need a rifle for protection from 2 legged varmints, coyotes in the goat pasture and the occasional rabid raccoons.
Anyone have advice on a rifle with the handling and feel of the Carbine? Mini-30 or Mini-14?
Or maybe I want a lever action?
I've never been a fan of AR/AK type rifles, but maybe that's the answer.
