Making a decision on my first rifle and have it narrowed down to these 2.

I'm leaning toward the Rugar but I really like the reliability Springfield is known for.

Yes I know good luck finding them but when I do I am buying it.

I would like to mention that I am a beginner but not a novice when it comes to firearms. I have shot plenty of times and have been trained in gun safety, but never owned my own.

Thanks for anyone taking the time to answer.

If you can only get one, my advice is to go with the Mini-14. If anyone ever decides they're actually going to flex back against traitors they're probably going to be doing it with an AR15 in 5.56. The amount of 5.56/.223 out there in everyone's secret stashes is absolutely crude.

This is my thought process as well. The saying shooting .308 is like literally shooting dollar bills is becoming more and more true haha.

Same goes for 5.56/.223 now anyways I guess.
