As a college student, I unfortunately cannot afford the finer aspects of the firearms industry, and thus my main SHTF rifle is a Romanian WASR 10/63 instead of an AR-15. I doubt I can afford decent 5.56 or .308 ammo, much less a nice AR or a .308 bolt gun.
So I've been researching precision rifles in 7.62x54R, which is relatively cheap (although match-grade ammo is expensive and rare). I looked at PSLs, but got mixed messages as far as accuracy goes. Finnish M39s, from what I've read, are pretty accurate, but don't come with a scope and mount like PSLs do, so I'd have to spend > 100 bucks for that.
I know, you get what you pay for, and don't expect anything close to sub-MOA accuracy with mil-surp light ball, but anything minute-of-man at 400-500 yards would be acceptable to me.
And no, I can't afford an NDM Dragunov
Thanks.
Oh yeah, hi I'm new
