Semi-auto sporter? (Not black rifle)
Does anyone make a semi-auto sporter in 223, 7.62 x39, 6.8, 6.5G etc... that is not a nasty black rifle?

Browning BAR

Maybe list
Mini-14, Ares SCR, SKS

anything I'm missing?

Winchester SXR, Remington 7400 both in a variety of cartridges. Also SKS is a wood stocked rifle, I have one that is very accurate 7.62x39

Not currently produced but you may find a used one.

Benelli R1, not sure about your calibers, though. Browning BAR is another option.

SIG 400 FDE is not black, the FDE stands for Flat Dark Earth - sort of a dark tan.

Reminton and Browning make nice autos with wood stocks and it some nice calibers. I liked the old 30 Rem. and 25 Rem in the mod. 81 and 8, some of those are still floating around..

I have a very nice Remington Model 8 in .30-30 Rem. I had it completely refurbished about 6 months ago and I have custom ammo and brass for it. I've shot it about 10 times. It's accurate but for my failing eyes I really need a scope.

If you're interested give me a PM and leave your number and I'll call you and text pictures.

I think I have a good guess what you are looking for - something that is legal under NYC firearms law. I used to have a NYC resident permit - gave it up when they wanted me to list all my firearms including stuff I had in Florida.

This is expensive and out of production but perfect hk 770

I have an Ares and it is NYC legal.

Yes that is what I was thinking about. I should have bought one of each of the H&K's. They made them in 30-06, 308 and 223.
