There you go.
There's not many things more devastating to a human that can be easily bought than a 12 gauge slug. Personally I'd rather have a M14 of some flavor. I know a deputy in Texas than has a Winchester M14 in his truck, (yep it has the fun switch). You have already given the Ar a try and look how long that lasted. Your already talking about modding your AR and you did on the last one too. I say save your bucks for as long as it takes and eventually get the M1A scout, personally I'd get the one with no rail and a wood stock and leave it bone stock. By the time you buy all the gadgets and do-dads for an AR your in the M1A price range anyways. You ever wonder why you don't see many M14's and M1As for sell? It's because the people who own them wont sell them, I doubt you would either.
No thanks...I like my thumbs.
Besides...an M1 Garand ain't nuthin' but a telephone pole with a bolt and barrel stuck on it.
The Levergun may not have the capacity of the AR, but in the right hands is as lethal if not more so than the AR. One well placed shot of 30-30 is going to have imediate results!
Here in Pontotoc Co, Sheriff Glase carried a 30-30 lever gun and either a 1911 or a S&W 25 in 45LC most of his time of service.
One of these days big guy you need to write a book.
"All the guns I've owned."
Keep the lever gun.
More blasphemy! What's this world coming to? A pic rail on a SxS...
Why dont you actually shoot one or the other? They are tools, not art.

No offense, but it sounds like the operator, no the machine, is the issue.
