I have been thinking on buying a new rifle and would like some recommendations. This would be if you had to have only one rifle what would it be? To be used for hunting mid size game (mid range 100 to 300 yrd max) and mainly target shooting. The main reason why is if the political landscape changes to the point where you can no longer own or shoot AR, AK, etc. types rifles what would you buy or what would you consider for the purchase?
1. For me I'm looking for something in bolt action, lever action, or pump (no semi-autos please).
2. 30 caliber or similar common easy to find round to buy and reload.
3. Capacity of at least 6 rounds
4. Easy to reload, top-off or change mags
5. If uses mags they need to be easy to find and not cost too much
6. Iron sights and option for optics
I have been looking at the 30-30 lever rifles and 308 scout rifles, but can't seam to decide. I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing another option.
Thanks
