Another sks question

[kart racer]

I've been looking at some sks' and was wondering which one is recommended.Locally I can get an unissued yugo for 179.00 or for 50.00 to 150.00 more a chinese or russian.Are the others worth the price difference?

kart racer,
I purchased 3 unissued sks yugo rifles for my 3 boys. My youngest son recently put a simmons 3x9x50 scope on his sks. I know, some may say that he over-scoped his rifle. Anyway, at 100 yards I watched him put ALL 10 shots into a softball size circle! He did this while standing, leanig up next to the garage, using the garage as his only aiming support. At 200 yards, all shots were kept inside a basketball size target. I could not believe the sks could shoot even that well. If you are going to spend the money, I would suggest you spend a little extra and get the unissed grade of the Yugo SKS. I don't think you will regret it! (my youngest son is 16, and the day I watched him shoot it was cold and overcast with snow on the ground!)
