I'm looking to get a carbine rifle for my wife. The rifle will either be an M1 carbine or a mini 14 carbine with iron sights only for either. My wife is only good at about 50 yards maximum with iron sights. Which rifle do y'all think I should go with? I'm thinking the 30 carbine will have more stopping power at 50 yards or less, but I could be wrong. They're both gas operated, rotating bolts. It looks like the m1 is about $200 cheaper for the rifle, but the mini 14 has cheaper/more available ammo. What are yalls opinions?
