What rifle should I get?
I've recently moved to Kentucky and pending my change of residency, I want to take advantage of their liberal gun laws here.
I've always wanted a rifle, but previously living in NYC made that nearly impossible.
Now that I have the opportunity, I can't decide what rifle I want!
I'm a big fan of the M1 Carbines, SKS and Dragunovs. I think I would actually prefer a Dragunov, but I find those extremely difficult to find - especially Soviet made ones. Does any one have experiences with Romanian or Chinese made ones vs Soviet ones? I have only shot Soviet ones. Likewise the same goes with the SKS, only shot soviet ones, so I'm wondering if other makes of them are worthwhile.
M1s seem to be pretty easy to find, but I'm not a *huge* fan of the .30 cal. The SKS's 7.62 x 39 is *ok* but I would prefer the 54 with the Dragunov.
I guess my order of priority is value, price and stopping power.
Thoughts?
Oh yes, I'll be using this for recreational shooting, and perhaps home defense?
