I'm looking to buy a lightweight rifle cambered in 5.56/.223.
I sold my AR's but still have mags and ammo. I want to move my girl friend up from her .22.
I'm just not certain on what to get.
So I've picked up and held the DPMS Sportical lightweight AR and I think it would be light enough for her.
But the SU-16 is almost 2lbs lighter! I also like the gas piston system on the Kel Tec.
But I do worry about the long term reliability of the Kel Tec.
I've also looked at the Bushmaster Carbon 15, but have read too many bad reviews.
I like the idea of the MVP bolt action that uses the AR mags, but she has bad wrist and really prefers a pistol grip stock, and I like semi-autos!
So what say y'all?
