While the SCAR is a nice rifle its too expensive IMO.

Get a Colt AR. A little more expensive than other AR's but worth it.
Prices have been dropping lately.

Any of the AK's will do you fine.

Now if you REALLY want 10lbs of romping stomping power get an M-1 Garand.
8 rounds of .30-06 goodness......and G.I.Joe saved the world with one.

I have the Saiga 223 and love the weapon. It eats everything you feed it and never has a problem (knocking on wood). Here is what it looks like after some mods.

AKs

Later today. I had to stop and abuse, er, lovingly treat some patients. I wasn't in Nam. Got drafted at the end of the war and ended up active Air Force Reserves for 8 years, hospital unit. Do go to other web sites to learn a lot; they have AK 47 clubs, sites, comparisions with AR'S , videos, etc. You can get a quick aquire scope for the AK for better and faster on target aquisition, good especially for old eyes with bi-focals like mine. The AR was designed around the American soldier as being a rifleman. The Commies designed theirs so that any uneducated peasant could fire and mantain the weapon-witness all the 9 year old kids in the third world toting an AK. The AK would have the selector switch full auto first, single shot second. The AR would have the selector switch single shot first, full auto second. The AK, primarily a machine gun, the AR a rifle. You are going to get a modified Eastern Block single shot only AK, unless you spend up to $20,000 for full auto and fill out all the fed's paper work. Reminton makes the 7.62 round, but as noted earlier, stock up . You don't know how things are going to go down. I love my AK and it does all that I want it to do. Hope this helps and I didn't blather on.

Excellent post. The other day I read your comments on the AK47 and have directed my attention away from the AR and towards the AK.

Yep, definitely check'em out.
