Just about to get my non restricted license and was thinking of getting the following rifles any suggestions?

-SKS(because it's cheap and has canadain roots)

-Type 81

-Some sort of AR180 variation either the...

 - Crusader Arms templar 

 - WS-MCR

 - looking at a few others (anyone know a currently in stock, fancy AR180 variant that has less QC issues than the WK180-c G2 and the MCR?)

Any input is appreciated (side note, inheritance will give me a Turkish clone M4 and a 17HMR bolt action)

Learn to shoot on something cheap.
Decide what your needs and wants are.
Choose gun that suits you and your budget and suitable for use at your firearms range.
Follow your canadain roots.
