I see AK47, the ARs, and the SKS rifles and their variants.
I'm leaning towards a low budget SKS to get started. I could have some fun putting a scope and folder stock on it and like the idea of the bigger diameter round in the 7.62 (AK/SKS) instead of the 5.56 (AR) for HD. But that's mainly because I'm cheap and still have to get two hunting rifles for this upcoming deer season, one for me, and one for my wife.
Please discuss what I can expect for accuracy and the best choices in that arena. As far as prices, I can surf Gunbroker and Auction Arms to find my price range with ease.
My wife's sister has an assault rifle of some sort that I'm not certain of the caliber or make. It's probably a good idea to find out what it is so they can share ammo and mags and make trips to the range themselves. That always impresses a range full of men when two women show up to plink on their own without their men dragging them along.
Plus, a folding stock model would make the ladies only campouts much more secure should some 2 legged predators decide to show up and be not so gentlemanly.
