Re: self defense rifle?

I don't get it...

Are you going to primarily hunt with the lever gun, or are you serious about using it solely for defense?

The M-1 garand proved that self-loading rifles were far superior for defensive purposes over 70 years ago. An AK or an SKS would be far more effective as a "problem arises" gun, and you should be able to find one in the same price range as a lever gun.

When it comes down to it, any gun is better than no gun, even a black powder pistol. However, you might as well go for something better suited for the task you intend to perform, and if that task is defense, think semi-auto, and preferably with a high ammo capacity.

Do what you think is best.
