Savage BAS gets my vote! Otherwise get a Ruger mini 30 with a tacticool stock! Cheap ammo for the range and good for deer at 200 yards. The new one can apparently print 1 - 1 1/2 inch groups all day! Prolly as good as your gonna get outta a nork M-14 without dumping 1000 bucks into it! And a hell of a lot lighter and manouverable for a hunting gun, or tacticool fun! If you want the precision buy a bolt gun or high end AR! If you want a tacticool non restricted for hunting that's a different thing altogether!
