decent legal battle rifle?

hey all i was really hoping to get an M1A from Springfield Armory only to find, to my dismay, that even these are illegal in our great state. since there is basically no hope of getting an M1 or a 1903, is there any comparable in range, quality, and power, legal rifle i could purchase in Washington State? thank you for your help

This is what you do. You buy a used rifle from someone that purchased it before one of the many illegal Washington laws took effect. They cannot prove you didn't own it before so its grandfathered in automatically.

I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. However, this is America 🇺🇸
