Target shooting/fucking around, or are you going to want to hunt "legally" with it?

So I'm assuming caliber is an issue?  Anything specific caliber in mind?

Ruger Mini-14 is a nice one for that.  You could spend more and get their SR-762, but I've never shot one so I can't vouch for them although I'm sure they're just spiffy.  Ruger also has a decent selection of accessory parts for their rifles so you can really customize them and so forth. 

You could check your local classifieds or whatever and find a cheap enough .308, .30-06, .223, etc.  I like those because the ammo is fairly ubiquitous.

Yeah I was gonna recommend a Mini-14


Also, since OP doesn't mind going slightly used, check out some local gun/pawn shops for a slightly used AR-15. 

The Mini-14 and most AR-15's are chambered in .223

However, some of the higher end AR-15's are designed to use milspec 5.56 NATO without potentially damaging the receiver (.223 caliber bullet, but operates at a higher pressure).

Ruger 10/22 would be a good first rifle, its only .22lr but it's still useful and fun to use. Especially for target shooting.

What caliber did you have in mind ?

Are you thinking it would be for long distance- beyond a 100 yards ?

I would stay away from .223 or 556 because ammo is scarce right now. I have a GSG .22 and I love it just to fuck around with but .22 ammo is the rarest to get right now (At least where I live).

Your best bet is to get a 9mm of some sort. Even a brand new one shouldnt be more than $600-$800

EDIT: If you can, get a bump fire stock. They are fun as hell, but ammo goes fast lol

I was initially going to recommend something chambered for .22lr, but opted to recommend something with more stopping power since OP suggested he wants something effective in WW3 :lol:

are you looking for an assault type rifle? or just a semi automatic rifle? what would be a caliber of ammunition that is easily found locally in enough quantity too suit your needs without having to unload your wallet for just a few hundred rounds. your local gun shop should have some decently priced used guns that have less than normal wear and tear on them. they will also be able too better help you with your needs, although it is nice to have ageneral idea of what you want before you walk in. i also try and stay away from the gun shops with snappy and grumpy owners.

is a nice product and im sure you could find one at a shop for 4/500 bucks no problem.

its that bitter-sweet-sour, electric-smooth-twang. everything you ever have, are. or will feel along with every emotion, joy, hate, love, fear or aspiration burning down your nerves and into the fabric of your place in this existence at ten thousand degrees above and below zero will you find yourself wondering if you've been dead or alive this whole time. being born over and over only to die over and over hoping the wheel stops in the same place it started when you spun it, and when it finally does and you can step back and take a nice deep breath you realize how beautiful life is, remember, wake up to the most beautiful day of your life every single day, its just the way.

Maybe you would like the cx-4 storm.  It comes in 9mm with a lot of different options.

.22 lr is hard to find where I'm at and has been for a while.  Some places have even made signs to place on the gun counters to notify when they're out of stock, which is 95% of the time unless you show up within an hour after their truck arrives. :sad:

The AK47 is hard to beat and the ammo is pretty well stocked in most stores.  They have to keep the Crips and Bloods supplied.

I have no issues finding ammo and the pricing is only marginally higher than
it was a couple of years ago, the gun stores in the area always have
sufficient stock, enough so that my friend went in and picked up 1000 rds of
.45, .223 and 9mm. and 4000rds of .22 and it didnt even put a dent in their stock

like a few others mentioned, the rugur mini-14 is a good one to consider
a new sporting goods store in the area has been running ads for a colt M4 at
only $600, it's an AR-15 and real colt. some makes are in the $500 range

Yeah the last time I bought .22lr ammo I could only get 2 bricks because thats all that was left. Then for some reason 9mm ammo was in high demand so I got to the shop when they just put it on the shelf and bought $500 worth.

I used to have a golden hook up. My co workers ex girlfriend works at a huge store in the receiving department and when they would get ammo in she would put some aside for us. But then he fucked everything up and broke up with her!!! He ruins everything good

Ar-15. There's a reason they're so popular. I can't think of any reason to buy a mini-14 over a ar-15.

A fucking AR-15 costs like $1200 when a Mini 14 shoots a .223 or 5.56 NATO for under $900.  I think a few hundred bucks is a pretty damn good reason for some people.
