[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 1798281, member: 13284"] If "inexpensive" is the deciding factor I would also lean towards the SKS platform for a semi-auto due to the relatively inexpensive cost of the rifle and fact that ammo is cheap, plentiful, and easy to stock up on. For a bolt action, I would go with a Mosin (probably a M44 due to it's compact size and folding bayonet) for the same reasons. If cost was no issue, I would probably pick a quality milsurp AK over any other semi-auto. On the bolt action side I would go with a SMLE (probably No 4 MK II) due to the quick, cock on close bolt system, and 10 round capacity. The other possibility (if you could locate one) would be a 1903 with a 25 round air service magazine installed. The only issue with both the 1903 and Lee Enfield is that the cost of ammo is so expensive that I would not likely have a large quantity of ammo on hand for each rifle. [/QUOTE]
