If you are interested in bolties, the Ruger American is supposed to be pretty solid. For Semi, the only one that I’m interested in personally and have shot is the Tavor X95. It’s a very solid gun to shoot but obviously on the pricey side. If you want something that’s not exactly 5.56/.223 but comparable, you can get an SKS for $450-500 still these days. Plenty of fun to shoot and there’s lots of history behind them.

That’s fair, it is reloaded by stripper clips or single loading each into the rifle. I would not consider the MCR or the newer version. From what I have seen, they are not reliable out of the box without work. The Tavor is definitely a proven platform. There’s also the Keltech RDB which some people like and the Norinco Type 97. You’ll notice these are all bullpup designs though.
