I'm looking for my next "fun gun", something that serves no other purpose than to take to the range and enjoy. If it can be used for a specific task or function also, then so much the better! I have ARs and an AR SBR, and while they are pretty fun, they are starting to lose their "fun factor" to me. Not to mention, everyone and their brother has one so it's not something people are dying to get a chance to shoot.
I've somewhat started with some initial ideas and they may very well be poor choices, but at least you can get a sense of where I'm going here.
Option 1: Century C308. Cheapest way to get into the HK91 style platform. Good market for accessories and dirt cheap mags. Gun is probably the cheapest price of all options. Range ammo cost of about $0.36/round.
Option 2: PTR 32 KFR. HK91/G3 style platform in 7.62x39 instead of 308. Uses most AK mags, so pretty cheap. Gun is likely higher quality than the Century C308, costs about $250 more, but ammo is a good bit cheaper. Range ammo cost of about $0.23/round.
Option 3: M1 Carbine. Always wanted one, love the platform, and love the caliber for a plinkerer that's a step up from 22LR. Likely the most expensive option in terms of gun price. Range ammo cost of about $0.28/round.
