I have this itch for a rifle. I go to the range all of the time and shoot my pistols, but lately I've been wanting to have some fun on the rifle range.
I was really impressed by the PTR-91, but it is not legal in Kalifornia so I'm back to searching. The rifle will be used for target practice only, but I would like it to look good too. I really wanted to find somehting different (read: non-AR), but I am open to any ideas. I plan on mounting a scope and would prefer a weapon that is accurate and am willing to upgrage components to get there (trigger, barrel, etc.). The Bushmaster Varminter was one of the rifles I had my eye on for a while but I've seen so many AR's lately that i want to explore some different options. I'm not married to any particular round, although I would prefer something that isn't too expensive or hard to come by.
So what do you guys think? What's a good rifle for me?
To sum up:
1) Rifle needed for range shooting (not hunting)
2) Must look good as well as perform well
3) Prefer something different/unique and I'm partial to the assault weapon style
4) Ammo choice is open
5) Accuracy is important
6) Must be legal in Kalifornia :x
Thanks.
