What battle rifle should I get?

[Anarchy666]

I'm curious as to what battle rifle I should get. Obviously most people prefer carbines, like the AR15, for self/home defense, but I want a rifle that can do more than just defend me and can also be a good hunting rifle. I would rather get a battle rifle than get both a hunting rifle and a defense rifle obviously, so which would you recommend?

The Ruger Mini 14 is a pretty good choice

Fulton Armory AR-10.

I might go for the full-size. I like to have some weight snug against my shoulder. Makes me feel comfortable.

There are several good choices

Even the old communist SKS makes a good democrat wacko adjustment tool in a pinch that is not very expensive

A real battle rifle....FAL....Right arm of the free world.

I prefer an inch pattern SLR because it takes both inch and metric mags.

1959 L1A1 built on a matching parts kit with Imbel receiver.

You? I'd like to see you purchase one that will blow up in your face.

The Ruger SFAR is the superior choice over the AR-10 if you plan on hunting with it or toting it around a lot.

I bought one and after wringing it out I sold-off my AR-10.

Ruger SFAR Review: Lightweight .308 AR-10 Alternative

Ruger SFAR packs .308 Winchester power into AR-15 receiver size at 7.1 pounds vs 9+ pound AR-10s. Full accuracy and reliability testing results inside.

Nice addition to the thread, asshole.

I like the lighter weight. Whats the recoil like?

 

[deannalw]

I love my AR15, but I don't hunt critters.

James has so many I don't keep track anymore.

Of the choices listed I'd say the PTR-91. I had one and it was solid.

Thing is they run dirty as hell (just like the HK-91) due to the fluted chamber.

I'm a poor one to judge as I've never been recoil sensitive. I don't think I've ever even noticed it being any worse or better than say an FAL.

Thats fair. FALs do well in the battle rifle class in carbine and Kalashnikov matches.

I saw one, the guy had put rosewood furniture on it. It was beautiful.

LOL.....It depends on how drunk the monkeys at CAI were when it was built.

That bunch buggered up many a parts kit....Hard pass.
