Hi folks,
If you had to recommend a good general purpose rifle - assume plinking, some hunting, and even home or camp defense - what would it be? I have only a little experience with rifles - I've shot mainly .22's, but also the SKS, AR-15, .30-06 a couple of times. Would I be better off with a carbine instead of a rifle? I am looking for utter reliability for a reasonable price, something that can do a lot of jobs since I don't have funds to buy special purpose rifles for lots of purposes. Give me an idea of brands, caliber, and cost if possible.
Thanks,
Cullen
