I have a Spanish Mauser (short barrel, bolt action) that shoots well, but I would love to have an M1A with a polymer stock. I sold my M1 Garand, (it was too heavy for me). Since daddy was Navy Rifle Team/ UDT (Frogman) I learned from the best.
My hear belongs to the .30-06, but I will settle for the .308 Winchester (7.62 x 51).
Lord, I'm getting old.
Perhaps I should just buy a Remington self-loader in .30-'06. A 22" barrel would work rather well.
If you're just wanting a hunting rig, a lever action or bolt action is best. Personally, levers are the way to go for any mixed hardwood/conifer terrain, where you'd rarely make a shot over 100 yds. A .444 Marlin has an effective range beyond that even. Bolt action could be a nice bench shooter as well as a hunting rig, especially if you're thinking of hunting cervids in savannah or desert terrain out to 3 or 4 hundred yards. An semi auto rifle for hunting is kind of a hindrance. You'd have to have a 5 round mag 'pinned' in during hunting season to hunt with an AR or M1A (at least in Oregon).

We're just restricted to a five-round magazine. The magazine cannot accept more than five rounds. That is all... I have no further information.

I didn't know the 5 rounder had to be pinned, that seems a hassle.
-Not to thread drift-
Can we (in Oregon) hunt with no mag in place using a semi-auto? ie single shot?
Thanks!
