Saving for new rifle in June.

Hello experts,
I'm currently saving to buy my first semi-auto rifle in June and I would like opinions as to which would be best. I want the rifle for shooting at our range in Washington state. We have a 250 yard strait target range and shooting pits for obsticle draw and shoot and building clearing. My choice is weighted on cost and availability of ammo, mountable cross hair or red dot scope, impact power and speed.
My current choices are....
1. a member of the M4/AR family.
2. The M14 SOCOM
3. The SKS
4. A member of the AK family.
What do you think?

Cost of amo is a big factor, I'm finding .223 to be getting pricy.
223 like all ammo is getting expensive. But you have a 308 rifle on your list, now that is really expensive. Atleast with an AR you can put a 22lr conversion kit in it to plink with.

True but for $150 bucks you can buy a new 22 and save the AR barrel for when the chit hits the fan.
I think you should put a little more weight on what it is you want to do with the rifle most. Then add the other factors.
Which part of the state are you in. If you are close I could let you try some and see what you like.
UPDATE Well I am in the middle and east side. If you ever make it over to Yakima or Spokane areas let me know.
