Due to MA restrictions and a shoulder injury, I am looking for a larger caliber rifle than a .22 that meets the following: (Ruger 10/22 is great, so looking for something that might be its 'big brother'.)
1. Has a mag that holds at least 5
2. Light weight (as possible), but accurate
3. Larger than .22, but common and inexpensive
4. Can take a red dot
5. Easy to get
M1 is out due to weight. Bolt actions no good as only single shot. No idea if there are rifles in 5.56 other than ARs that meet MA restrictions, but that would work as well. Hopefully those with more knowledge of rifles than me, which is probably everyone, can suggest something. Thanks.
