I'm in the market for a short range SD rifle in 7.62x39 or 5.56. I'm not too worried about accuracy or customization, just reliability. I just want a smaller carbine that I can shoot critters/zombies with.
I was looking at an AR15, but it's getting very hard to find anything decent for less than $1000, any of the brands that I want are past $1200.
The new Mini-14s are starting to look a lot better, now that I can buy factory magazines. They also look less "militant". I'm finding Mini-14s for less than $800
Any reason not to choose a new Mini-14 for a short range SD rifle?
