I normally reside in the handgun forum, since I don't have a rifle, but I'm looking to get a rifle in the near future. I haven't decided between bolt action or semi-auto. I shot a full auto rifle a while back, and while fun, I don't want to pay the difference for full auto capability. I'm looking for target and self-defense.
I'm looking for input on:
* .223 vs. .308 or other caliber?
* Bolt vs. semi-auto? I assume semi- would be a lot better for self-defense, but are semi-auto rifles generally jam-free?
* Any reason not to get a Ruger mini14?
* I'm looking to spend $500 or less. Anything else out there in that price range than Ruger?
Thanks a bunch.
