I know that the SKS is the go to innawoods rifle, but it's also very cheap, and that's some of the reason why it's the go to innawoods rifle.
So, /k/, if you had a budget of $2500, what rifle would you get for innawoods oper8ing? Must be available to civilians and also meet some of the things that make the SKS so good for this purpose.
>wood stock, rifle without pistol grip so you don't scare people, and looks like a hunting rifle
>semi automatic
>more than 5 rounds
>needs to have a big boy caliber
>must be available to civilians
>reliable, well built
My vote is for the M1A, which is the civilian version of the M14, costs about $1600. Would love to hear your opinions as well.
Bad day/k/are is bad

I prefer the fixed stock, but this. I've yet to find a better overall rifle.
>My vote is for the M1A
Too heavy IMO. I like full size rifles, but those extra pounds are a serious problem if you're actually lugging it around all day.

The M1A is ~10 lbs w/ empty mag while the SKS is 8 lbs, but if you add all the trimmings I can see how being innawoods with that would be bad.

And the vz is 6.4 according to wiki anyway, not home to measure mine. And I have a comfy belt pouch for spare ammo.
And I normally use 10rd mags to cut off 8/10th pound vs using a full size mag. Can carry that all day, no stress whatsoever.

>want vz58
>they're $1000+ near me
>>33260673
So that's only half of OP's proposed 2500 budget. Just make sure it's an actual vz58 and not a vz2008 for that price.
Set yourself up with the alternate stock style to whatever version you buy too. The fixed is super comfy, and the folder is the most useful and quick deploying folder stock I've laid my hands on.
