    That’s a nice collection!

    Do you recommend .30-06 semi-auto rifles like the ones built similar to the AR-10 receivers or should I stick to buying a bolt action one?

      I don’t know that .30-06 is really a good semi-auto round. All the semi-auto rifles I’ve shot are the .556 / .223 AR rounds.

      Though I’ve heard good things about .300 Blackout, .308, .350 Legend and .360 Buckhammer. I think I’d be leery of getting any semi automatic at this point given how there’s potential legislation on them… unless your PLAN is to be part of a legal action, then it’s all good. ;)

          Varies state by state, but Biden is angling for a Federal Assault Weapon Ban like what we had from 1994 to 2004, and given the assassination attempt, there may be a good chance it gets done this time.

            It sounds like you are encouraging me to buy semi-auto before FFLs are hypothetically no longer allowed to sell them; they can’t force purchases competed after a law is passed suddenly make everyone a felon.

            I have a disability that makes using my hands that the motion a bolt action forces you to do very difficult, so I’ll go out and look for good semi-auto rifles to buy. Which is too bad because I love some of the beautiful wooden furniture some hunting rifles have.
