Get something with more reach like a Springfield Armory M1A in one of it's many configurations. I like the scout model for its short 18" barrel. I wouldn't own a poodle shooter with the possible exception of something for four legged varmints.

Having put a hundred or so rounds through a friends Springfield M1A, I couldnt agree more. It was a real joy to shoot and an AR felt like a toy when compared to it. Their accuracy and reliability is stuff of battlefield legend. The only drawback is the price. Dont they retail around $1200? My friend paid like $1200 to $1300 for his rifle but it also came with a Springfield pistol.

This M1A is often overlooked, typically because it doesnt have the “assault rifle” look. I think that is a good thing. Libs think its a hunting rifle.
