    Default Need rifle opinions

    So, I was looking for something cool for a new range toy but have been second guessing myself. Let me throw out some random thoughts then you guys can chime in. Thanks.

    First, I was thinking of something in .223/5.56. Maybe even something that took AR mags. But, then I realized anything in that caliber wasn't all that different than the AR platform.

    So, then I thought maybe I could get an AK since I haven't had one in well over 15 years. But, then I realized I will need to buy magazines and ammo. And, there is probably a reason I haven't had one in over 15 years. I find them a bit crude and non-ergonomic for my taste.

    I had a few more exotic options in mind but I don't feel like jumping through hoops and paying through the nose to acquire magazines.

    Now I'm contemplating just putting together another AR and maybe buying a new ukulele.

    Maybe I should just buy a new riding lawn mower instead.

    Decisions, decisions....

    Nah. Really looking for something "high capacity" and "tacti-cool".

    I always have the most fun with my 22s but I also really like my H&R single shot .223 with a bull barrel and a cheap scope. Its a tack driver!

    Hmm. Hadn't given much thought to "alternative" calibers.

    Thanks for the idea.

    If I had unlimited funds- and more time off work to actually play ...

    ... I'd go this route.

    308 bolt guns are always fun.
