Lon,

I would like to suggest the Springfield Armory M1A (M14). Without question one of the finest rifles known to man. (I may be biased though.)

The M1A is available in more variants than almost any rifle, and is known for accuracy, dependability and can even be used legally for hunting (with 5 round magazine.)

Additionally it doesn't look like an "assault rifle" as much as the HK91. I carried the M21 variant many times prior to being given the M24 and really preferred it.

One thing to remember, If it wasn't good why is the US military taking up all if the standard and match M14's and making sniper rifles (M21, M25, M14DMR, M14EMR and etc)?

Just my $0.02
