I'm in Carrollton, about half and hour north of Alton or about an hour north of St.Louis. Since I am only 18, what are some good rifles you can recommend me?

i heard you mention the bushy ar... fantastic weapon.... acurate..easy to break down and clean....cheap to shoot and fun to mod... and to be honest its a buyers market.... id most likely pick up a used one like i did... in your other thread i posted some pics of my collection which includes a 14.5" bushy 15 .. i havent done much to it other than a grip, some nightsights and a tack latch... its a sweet fire arm as is

depends on your body size..go to a range and try some out and you can see what you feel comfortable shooting

guns all depend on what you are going to shoot and how much you shoot and how much you are willing to spend on bullets
