Hello All,
I'm not unfamiliar with firearms, however, I am more familiar with shotguns and handguns. I'm looking to expand my arsenal and acquire a rifle. I'm looking for something mainly for plinking around but also for use in defensive/survival situations. Basically I want a well rounded all purpose rifle. As of right now I'm leaning towards an AR-15 (specifically the Smith and Wesson Sport II) or a bolt action (Remington 700). I'm also a BIG fan of revolvers and carry a S&W 640, because of that I'm not opposed to the idea of a lever gun chambered in .357, I would want more information on this option though. My final option I've considered is a Mosin Nagant, I know this is way outdated, but I'm a historian by training and so I have an affinity for historic firearms (probably why I enjoy revolvers). So my question for you all is what platform would you recommend, what caliber would you chamber it in, and what brand do you prefer.
Thanks!
