No Semi Auto "Assault" Rifles? Completely HYPOTHETICAL Question

[Jeremiah/Az]

I voted lever action, of which I have .22, .357 mag, 30-30 & a .243. I have killed more big game with my model 760 Remington 30.06 tho which is a pump.

Lee-Enfield #4. Mad minute, 25 aimed rounds downrange in 60 seconds. And can I get the L42A1 version please?? Pretty please!

[JustinN]

I'd take this providing I could talk Justin into letting me have it

I'd probably still be too busy staring at the grain to give it up. I'm trying to figure out the best way to hang it for display in my home office, I like it that much

We went to our semi local (bout an hour away) Sportsman Show today. Boats, campers, all kind of guide services, that kind of stuff, tons of fishing stuff of course.
Amongst all that darned if there wasn't a Savage rifle booth. Had several of the different models, the little youth one they came out with recently.
Nothing remotely close to what you got.

There was one, I think it was a 10 too, that did have cut checkering and pretty decent wood, no forend caps and not in the same league in the pretty department.

I think they're working hard at getting into the game as a major player again. I've always kind of leaned towards them but may kind of turn up their nose at them. Still about the most accurate out of the box rifle going.

All of those BAD military features "assault" Senator Whinestein's eyes.

Since I like to hit what I'm aiming at I'd have to go with a bolt action. I know, I know, someone is going to tell me that the 1903 Springfield was the assault weapon of it's day, but then so was the flint lock musket. Diane Feinstein is either incredibly stupid or incredibly evil and I'm fairly certain that she isn't evil. So what's a man to do? I think I'll stick to my guns.

I picked lever action so I'd have an excuse to get a Henry Big Boy.

All of the above and many of each. Then again I may have been accused of liking guns.

Yeah, I picked up quickly there was a stigma against them, but Savage is the brand my Great Grandpa always used for hunting. I'm pleased with the purchase, especially in the wood. I think it's definitely the same stock that came on the 50th anniversary gun, but not the same metal (that gun is around $1200 or so O.o )

[jlottmc]

I fell out of favor with them because of their first adjustable trigger. It was possible to make it too light and get a rifle to slam fire with little effort. I lost a good friend to that or so the official story goes. Knowing him and his circumstances better than the official story though, I know what happened.

A .50 cal Barrett

I knew someone was going to say that (just didn't expect it to be the first response)

[Rotorflyr]

Why am I limited to one? Depends on the purspose for such rifle as to what I would choose.

While I realize that most (if not all) of us would have more then one it's because that was the question (and if you actually read it, its purpose is to replace an AR/AK style rifle, so it would depend on what YOU use one of those for), and if you're only refering to the poll, it was limited to one choice so as to not allow everyone to choose them all.

[Barth]

[Rotorflyr]

There's no category for none but that would be my answer. I might poke my eye out with a pointy stick.

I'm sure that DF would consider my 45 carbine an assault weapon even if it's only a ten shot semi. It looks sorta mean and that's her criteria.

Nice (though I like the 1st Gen with the ATI stock better looks wise), but if your thinking you'd have it, you wouldn't as it's a semi-auto (pistol cal not witstanding) so I guess you'd stick to strictly hand guns which is fine but is irrelevant to the game.

[Rotorflyr]

any limits on caliber or length of the pointy sticks?

Nope, as long as you can walk softly while carrying it
