What is a reliable rifle?

Well you can never go wrong with a .22. If you want to hunt with it too, I would suggest an sks. It uses the same round as the ak 47 and you can get good deals if you buy the rounds in bulk. It is accurate and reliable. It has been used in many wars. So it was been tested. It is an effective cartridge to bring down deer and hogs. Recoil is very managable too. It is anywhere from $200-$450.
