I'm in a bit decision predicament, I'm getting my first semi-auto rifle. The only problem is that I cant decide on what to get. so I'm leaving it you highroaders on what to buy. I'm limited to around $1500(work bonus) as a price tag. I can only/want to buy one(1) gun at this time.
uses: target shooting, pest control, possibly hunting whitetail if I get the time(havnt been lately), and sitting close for possible HD scenario.
my choices:
completing an AR-15(My father has a complete unused lower)by buying a stag arms 6.8 upper w/ 60 rounds. ammo is available at local gun stores.- price...$425 used
buying a mini-14 NRA version. price.....around $700
an m1a scout , price, about my limit of $1500.
a new/used marlin 1894c 357 Mag... havnt found one yet
A siaga in shotgun or rifle form.(havent decided on what caliber)
prices from around $350 up to $650 for either shotgun or rifle.
last of my options is a really nice 10/22 thats already tacticooled for around $400
* not interested in handguns at this time.
