Buy recommendations Getting into Semi's
Hey guys, I've got me a nice hunting rifle and a good shotgun, a Tikka t3x, and a mossberg 590, looking to get into semi autos and just looking for recommendations from anybody who's shot the specific models and what they would recommend? I fired the SKS and the Citadel, was wondering about the akdas and Henry homesteader, any advice would be nice

Might be a slightly more unpopular opinion but Benelli R1 is an excellent rifle from what I’ve seen
It’s offered in a variety of different calibres from 308 to 30-06 and 338 win mag.
Pretty sure you can also import more magazines for it as well and I believe some are 10rnds that are pinned to 5.
Although it is catered towards hunting a 308 would be nice. If you want an intermediate cartridge I would highly point you in the direction of the Carmel or Makasi.
Sks is always a solid option too but lacks versatility when it comes to things like barrel changes or optics.
