re: venturing into the world of black guns

Hi all,
been back into the target shooting with the handguns and shotguns for about a year now after a too long break from it all. (Damn Job). Anyway, i have always been interested in getting into the world of the black gun as i find them very appealing and want to go shoot the hell out of a backstop at the range (LOL)
anyway what i am asking and i know that i will probably get a thousand different answers, but here i will ask anyway, which rifle is the best to get introduced to this wonderful world , should i build one or buy one and start from there, is the AR15 the way to go , or the Norc T97 or the Tavor???? is there somewhere on this internet place that a guy could do some research ( asking for recommendations to ease the pain of google searches please), any info and recommendations from you fellow CGNers would be a great help .

thanks

It's comes down to what you prefer.
T97 :some like it, some hate it. If you want a truck gun to shoot the hell out of then go for it! Just don't expect a tavor
Tavor: very nice rifle and again some don't like it. But a lot more like it then dislike it. Usually the ar guys hate on the tavor but it's pretty bad ass. I've never shot one just held one
Xcr:my personal favourite. Many don't like it because of past issues.
Ar15: I don't know too much about them. But they must be amazing if it's been used for as long as it has.
Benelli mr1: from what I've read very accurate just has some weird ergos. But everything benelli is good in my opinion.
Hk sl8on't know to much about it. But hk makes great stuff
Black and green classic:great rifles, kinda heavy also being reviewed by the RCMP

What am I missing? Lots I'm sure....
Personally I think no matter what you get you'll enjoy it it's all about what you need it for.

I have owned 3 black rifles so far.

HK SL8 - very accurate but front heavy and just heavy in general (heavy barrel) and a long barrel. I would say it is a great coyote gun.

Robinson Armament XCR-L- Accurate, heavy, front heavy (heavy barrel), and more tactical than the SL8. Fun, but IMO not worth the money you pay for it brand new.

T97 NSR - My current rifle. So far so good, I really enjoy the rifle for what it is. Not so much a tactical rifle as just a fun plinker. I find the iron sights to be awesome as well. It is the best bang for your buck at a lower price point I think. The Tavor or Swiss Arms are probably the best bang for your buck at a higher price point.
