Greetings all,
I'm a college student on a limited budget, and I'm interested in purchasing my first rifle. I've heard several good things about milsurp rifles like the SKS and Mosin Nagant, but I'm still not sure what to get. Couple of things:
1) What would be a good first rifle? I'm looking for something inexpensive but durable, that doesn't break the bank to fire.
2) I'm 6'9" and have a very long reach. What would be the best way to find a first rifle that fits me? Would a milsurp rifle still be comfortable to fire?
3) Aimsurplus.com seems to have very good deals on surplus weaponry, but I live in MD and do not have an FFL. Are there any dealers in the PG County region that may be able to help me? I know I could ask a dealer to get on record with the Aimsurplus people, but I wanted to know if anyone had already done so.
Thanks for your help.
