If I was in your shoes I'd go with either the Renegade in .223 Wylde. Or the MK-15 depending on how worried you are about potentially having a 2.5k tied up in a paper weight.

Owning and becoming skilled with the use of a good semi auto .223 is certainly something every gun owner should experience in their life. They are a fairly diverse gun to own. You can hunt varmints (and debatably deer) with it. Shoot fast paced run and gun competitions, service rifle competitions and plink out to 700yrds.

Going with the Renegade will still provide you with the same capabilities and shooting styles.... just at 10-50% of the speed of you would with the Mk-15.
