Disregarding the cost of ammo, and assuming each gun is equally “historically cool,” which one is actually more fun to take out and shoot?
Classic has SKS’s for $299. Which has reawakened my desire to try one. “Get while the gettin’s good,”’and all that. On the other hand, the Garand is really neat and was formerly top in my “buy next” list. On paper the SKS makes more sense.... affordability of 7.62x39 and cheap Russian commercial plinking fodder, etc. Certainly if I were buying one gun only, it’s hard to argue with the cheap n’ cheerful SKS. But I figure that, as a city boy, these guns see only gonna get exercised a couple times a year anyway, so if the Garand is more expensive to feed, well, it’s not like I have to do it every week.
What say you? Which is more fun to go plinking with?
