If you want acurate skip the mini-14 and 30, they will take ten round mags though.
those prices are stupid hight though Wally world had them at one time for about 450.
They are not acurate though.
You can get a FAL in cali, but it has to have the magazine release changed so the mag can not be removed. If you shop around you could prolly find one. (you may have to build it, but I hear thats not very hard.)
You can also get AR-15s, that have a fixed mag. They may be out of your price range though. They are also stupid and prolly have no resale value at all.
You want a great Semi Auto cheap? Check with your local rifle range, see if they are CMP affiliated, if they are ask if you can compete in a service rifle match and if they have loner rifles. If they do, I think you just have to do three matches and you can order a service grade M1 Garand from the CMP program for about 600 bucks.
Nothing you can buy in Cali can beat the gun or the price.
Here is the link M1s are considered Curios and relics and you can buy and walk out with it the same day if you find one local but you wont for under a grand.
CMP will mail it to your door as long as you meet there requirments.
May take a bit of time but will be well worth it. The M1 Garand is the finest service rifle ever to see service.
Oh and 30-06 is a much nicer round then the rat round .223 or the commie 7.62 by 39mm
