For the safety of those living nearby (within about one mile) PLEASE
do NOT use a rifle!!  The round from an M-1, AR-15 (equivalent to an
M-16), or other rifle will penetrate the walls of most houses very
easily.  For a person of slighter build what is wrong with using a
lighter guage shotgun?  How about a 4-10??  The first round could even
be a dummy load (still able to kill at close distances) or salt load.

If you are looking for a good, light rifle which is relatively
inexpensive then check out the Ruger Mini-14.  The maintenance is
much simpler than the AR-15;  the line of rifles is lighter and
smaller;  the accuracy is excellent.  One comes with built in mount
for sites.  Another is made of stainless steel for fewer rusting
problems.  I have seen nothing better.
