Is this more or less a Ford vs Chevy thing? I want to buy a rifle sometime over the next few months. I have read the gun threads here as they appear. Intend to use this for playing, blasting coyotes (packs that can be heard, but so far, rarely seen), and killing zombies. Thinking about the mini 14 and .22LR conversion kit to keep costs down. I don't anticipate needing to hit anything over 150 yards out. Seems like I can get similar performance from the mini 14 for less bucks.

Is there a rifle that would be the equivalent to the Porsche 911 (rugged, reliable, functional)?

I've been debating this for the last several months, and I keep changing my mind: AK, Mini 30, mini 14, bolt action ranch rifle (recent thread by Jeff Higgins). Last thing I need is multiple rifles. I want one that can do it all. Already have too many vices.
