New semi automatic rifle?

What's your price range?

I've always been partial to the hunting-type Browning Autos. I also like the Mini-30. Then again, if you can afford an M1 Carbine, those are nice for target shooting.

If you want something you can customize, get an AR-15 of some sort. If you just want to shoot it as-is, it's really up to you... Whatever catches your fancy is best!

As far as AKs go, i'd sooner have a lever action 30-30. That cartridge has essentially the same qualities as the 7.62x39mm & the lever action never jams. All semi-autos can jam.

Garands are for WWII vets and mini-14s are for A-team wannabees.

Get a good budget AR & spend a few bucks to trick it out.

Bushmaster is a good start. Colts are way over-priced as are SIGs.

Just buy the AR already you dirty commie pinko rag traitor. Then buy a Garand, that's what I did at least.

Kel tec RFB

Benelli MR1

Auto ordinance Thompson

Ruger Mini 30

m1 garand, its a great deer rifle, good for targets and a hell of a lot better than a ak anything

if you really like the ak47 and 74 you should consider a c or p stamped norinco sks , these are esentialy the same as a semi auto sks which is all we can get here easy

Colt M-4 SP1 is the holy grail of M-4's or Wilson Combat

New rifle for what ?????

Target practice, home defense ????

Just to have one ???

All those are good, but if it were ME i'd get the AR-15. Maybe a DPMS Lite 20"
