I was thinking about this the other day, seen a lot of first rifle threads but don't remember any first semi-auto rifle threads. In Kentucky I would carry a couple rifles in the rack that went over the back window of my pickup truck. I remember thinking that it would be neat to have a h&k 91 to stick in that rack. I figured the old boys sitting on the bench in front of Wilson's dry goods would have got a kick out of it. Back then owning a h&k was about as far away as a million dollars, it wasn't going to happen.
Anyhoo, my first high powered semi-auto rifle was a sks. I picked it up at a show in east Tennessee, probably in 1990 maybe 1991. I never had much use for a semi-auto but if it goes bang all is good. Come to think of it other than my father's camp carbines, I have not owned a commercial centerfire semi-auto rifle.
