Hi Smugley, I thought you want a practical rifle, or did I misread that as tactical. The Magtech 7002 is an excellent rifle , that won't break the bank. I have been using mine for at least a dozen years and it has broken into a very sweet rifle, which has put hundreds of rabbits in the pot. It is light weight and accurate firing Winchester 42 grain subs. Mine cost £150 brand new with the scope, so a s.hand model today should be cheap. I have seen the 7002 with tactical A/R dressing on YouTube, so the parts must be available.
One word of warning about hunting with an A/R lookalike, expect to be hassled by the police, if you shoot in an urban environment. Dog walkers may mistake you for a terrorist out practicing!
