RE: best semi auto rifle
Other then the callibers you mentioned you can not beat, if you do not mind the military look, the Springfield M1A!!!! Accuracr and all the good stuff, if it is not to your taste or price range go with the BAR the Remington is a 500 round throw away rifle and That is from a Factory rep but we will not mention names here and the accuracy, reliability and every thing else is poor! Bar or M1A, unless you luck into the old H&K sporters.
