Ahh, but I didn't get an AR15 because it was beautiful or collectible.

[i'll comment on the next lines...]

I
got it because it was reliable, a good shooter, easy to customize, and
easy to carry. I'm shooting 1-1/2" groups at 100 yards now with ordinary
Wolf Gold ammo.

Sounds just like a decent Mosin to me....

All the advantages of a Mosin without the 10 pound carry weight, 4'
length, and slow bolt action!

Yup, those pop bottles are dangerous sommiches and you need to be able
to get off a quick follow up shot if they turn and charge you.

Our range frowns on "rapid fire" defined as 2 seconds between shots.
Oswald did better than that with a nasty ass Carcano

Nah. I don't miss on the first shot, but sometimes the pop bottle next
to it tries to attack. Oh, I shoot paper targets, too, and "gongs."

What are you shooting? Manatees?

The only critters I have shot in the last 40 years or so were a few
rats and a ****load of those pesky skeets.

The indoor range I like has no 2 second rule.

The range here is outside but I assume they are trying to make a more
pleasant experience for serious shooters. You don't want to be in the
lane next to a guy doing magazine dumps with an assault rifle.

Some times I will do a double tap and nobody has said anything about
it but I only do it if I am a few lanes down from the nearest other
shooter.

Oh, and I don't dislike bolt action rifles. But the 1894 Swedish Mauser
I like is about 36" long and weights a smidgen over seven pounds.
Remember, I like lever action rifles, too. But not "oversized, heavy" ones.

If it is really noisy at the range, I wear ear plugs and muffs. I tried
someone's "electronic" muffs, forgot the brand name, but was not impressed.
