Christma is coming up and Obama will take the throne come January. My dad is going to buy me my first very own rifle bigger than a .22 LR. My dad owns an AR 15: Rock River 5.56 16 inch barrel A3. It's a nice rifle, but I am enrolled in this program called Appleseed, founded by RWVA. My shooting habits require a rifle which can shoot reliably ALL DAY at really long range. The AR 15 is okay for this. It's usually in the dirt or rain so I had several jams, once which required about 20 minutes or oiling and re-oiling. I had my eye on an m14, but the 308 is too big and expensive. The ruger mini 14 was another option, but my uncle has a few and I have heard too many horrer stories about it's accuracy. All I am looking for is a few suggestions as to what rifle I may be looking for (under $1200). Anything will be appretiated.
