I would like to get a high-cap semi-auto chambered in an intermediate rifle cartridge (like 45mm case or shorter.) preferably carbine-length.
I know the AR platform is a no-brainer, but I simply can’t bring myself to use a full pistol grip stock, it just feels totally unnatural to me. Plus ARs look high-maintenance to me.
I vastly prefer the M1A platform, but:
The standard M1A is a bit big.
The M1A, especially in shorter lengths, is pretty pricey and .308 is a bit more gun than I’d want.
My shooting buddy fought with his Mini-14 for years trying to get even mediocre accuracy from it. He finally disposed of it.
From what I’ve read, that’s pretty much the norm for the Mini-14.
So, is there an alternative to either of those?
I guess I could live with a .308, if there were an M1A-style for under $1K.
