The best automatic rifles

[Big O]

Do you mean SEMI-auto, or full-auto?
Semi) Browning,Remington are tops for me.
Full) Colt,Barrett.

Dude, that's not even a question.

As far as a sporting rifle, the Ruger 10/22 has to be near the top....

[Edward J. Palumbo]

Centerfire? Springfield M1A, Ruger Mini-14, Remington 742...in my opinion.

Assuming semi-auto... the M1A has to filter to the top of anyone's list in terms of versatility, accuracy, reliability and all the "ilities" for that matter. The AR15 will probably go down in history as having more impact on our society than the Winchester model 94 though (if they don't outlaw them soon). Modern AR15 rifles are accurate, reliable and fun to shoot. I have a Bushmaster Varminter that is slowly becoming my overall favorite rifle and that is saying something. I can shoot houseflys at 100 yards and Coke cans at 600 yards all day (with tuned reloads) and it doesn't break the bank. It is actually very useful in hunting situations too for anything from gophers to deer.

Without a doubt the AR-15 black rifles are at the top of the list but I also like the M1A or the older style Browning BAR (civilian version not the military BAR).

I'm going to just throw an answer out there and think your not talking hunting and say either m-16 or AK-47 each have a high rate of fire and knock down power.

[timothyfaw]

i didn't know if they made automatic rifles.

[FloridaHunter1226]

Semi-auto... I would have to say the 10/22 for a small rifle. But Browning and Benelli are really good for big game rifles. Although pricey, Benelli makes one hell of a big game semi-auto rifle.

[Big O]

Sorry I left a few out.
Semi auto- Ruger 10/22, M-1 garand.
Full auto- BAR(Browning Auto Rifle),AK-47, Browning .30 cal Machine gun, Gatling gun,Mg-42(germany), Maxium Gun(Belgum/Browning design), and the VERY first asault rifle which was made by germany.

[Bella]

You mean the Falshirmjaeger or the MP44, Big O? I'd have to suggest Ma Deuce or the 7.62 minigun for "automatic weapons" though I saw a 1878 Galtling gun reproduction that looked like lots o' fun (they ain't likely to let you hunt with one even if you had a trained gun crew, with the gun carriage and cassion, not to mention the horses and tack...)

The worst question

[Skeeb]

I'm going to have to stay with the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). That gun is both reliable and accurate.
