I am considering selling my Mini 14 Ranch Rifle so as to fund a Romanian PSL. I love the looks of the PSL and would love to add one to my meager collection of milsurp rifles. However, I have never shot one and am not sure about the quality control on these guns. My mini 14 is stainless and is a great gun; but I want to get rifles that I can also deer and hog hunt with, and I am not sure how the .223 would work for hunting. However, since I have a couple of Mosin-Nagants; I know that the 7.62 by .54 is a great big game round. The ammo is also relatively inexpensive and plentiful. I would appreciate the opinion of experts before I consider going through with this venture.
