Fwiw, am a really thrifty/frugal broke near hermit
Depression’s improved to the point I’m not concerned with it being a risk to myself and am currently nogunz except for varmint air guns
Considering dropping like two grand on a nice rifle and equipment and training with it alongside my gym routine
Debating getting either a KUSA KR-101X or a Keltec RFB and an optic and chest rig/plates and pouches, spare mags, etc for either
The KR-101X is a 5.56 AKM/74 clone that takes AR mags and looks pretty good from what I’ve seen, the RFB is a .308 bullpup DMR (I’m kinda a tankie and a big Halo dork, so both have their appeals)
Live in a state with a 10 round mag restriction, so that’s leaning me towards the RFB.
Thoughts?
Dunno if there’s a loophole for larger mags or a SBR “pistol” that might be a better option
Am I being a dumbass?
Should I get a pistol or a .22LR plinker first? Should I not drop a used car price on a rifle I might never have to actually use aside from playing at the range and running drills as a hobby?
@Tervell@hexbear.net pls lend me your wisdom and recs
For ARs nowadays I think .300 “blackout” sounded appealing.
I’ve never shot 5.56 somehow. Lapua, BMG, 7.62x39, 7.62x54, and some shotgun/pistol calibers I’m uncertain of.
Just get 5.56. Blackout is for running suppressors and being a cool operator dude.
My advice is always going to be to get the most boring and common gun.
Can confirm. I did some range time with suppressed 300BLK and I did feel like a cool operator dude.
Co-signing to get 5.56. 300BLK is expensive AF to shoot.
