What Should I get?

[gunguy123]

Hey guys I'm looking for some advice. I am currently trying to decide on what kind of semi automatic rifle I should purchase. I already have a Ruger SR556 and an Arsenal SGL21. I am currently trying to decide between an SGL31 and an M4 style AR15. My budget is 1300 and below. Also, I would like to know which caliber you guys prefer in general: 5.56 NATO or 5.45 Soviet. Let me know what you think!
Thanks

Seems not manny places one can shoot 5.45mm. We have a lot of threads on bummed out Calgunners buying a 74 and no place to shoot. On the other hand Google PPSH and Tokarev... a nice Carbine and Pistol Combo w/ cheap ammo.

Welcome to Calguns. IMO, 5.56 nato all the way. Some ranges are picky on the ammo you are allowed to shoot. If your close to BLM land, where you can shoot what you want, then 5.45 would be good to go.

Welcome aboard! Try your question in the rifle subforum. Folks don't always look in the "newbie" section for these kinds of questions. In any case good luck!
