The recoil sensitive point seems to conflict with the rifle round only idea.
If the user is comfortable with the SKS shooting a 7.62 x 39 then I would vote for that. No detachable mags (less reliable and stripper clips are pretty good once you get the hang of them, also 10rds should be enough without a reload) and not a Yugo as they are larger than necessary for h.d.
I would think that a carbine like the high point would have much less recoil and be very easy to keep on target, but it is a pistol round and that is out.
Good luck and let us know what you decide. With all of this help you can't go wrong. And as a person with over 3k posts on THR I am sure you will do great.
