In your neck of the woods I'd say a Hi Power would be more appropriate ... and a FAL to go with it
I think the best deal $ here in the states is the Rock Island tactical model. If you want straight up GI, their basic models are good too. But, they are made in the Phillipenes and are looked down on by some. Mine has been flawless in several thousand rounds. Next step up would be Springfield, then Colt and then the custom folks.
What kind of budget, can you have one imported, do you want basic or to trick it out?
