I know this is a great place to get advice, and I need to add a rifle to my supply of weapons.
I want to be able to return fire [if needed] up to about 400 yrds, and to be able to take game [if needed]. I would prefer a semi-auto asult type rifle. I need to stay in a budget of around $500 [outher needs you know]. My dealer has sugested a Ruger Mini 30 and I have put a deposite on one [stainless], but I
can change my mind.
I know Ruger has a good reputation for dependability, but I have read here some post
concerning it's accuracy. Also what do you think about the 7.62 round being enough to defend with [Deadly], and take large game?
Another concern is the availability of accessories and parts.
Thanks for allowing me to pick your brains on this.
