So, I'm a rifle newb and this is what I am thinking.
I've been reading Fred and BTP a bit recently, and I appreciate their focus on becoming riflemen. I too would like to try it out. To start that out, my parents got me Fred's guide to becoming a rifleman. Will hopefully get it soon.
So, my thoughts.
I could save up and
With the end result being to work on my riflery and eventually (when I am out of grad-school and actually making a bit more cash) Buy either an M1A or a FAL (basically an MBR in .308).
So, the funds are pretty slim (like I may have to donate plasma for a bit, but hey, I'd be doing that anyway), so I am trying to get the best practice for the dollar.
I am leaning towards the SKS because it would also fill that "carbine/truck-gun" niche nicely.
So, given my path and my limitations, what say yea?
oh yeah, and I currently own a Marlin 60 plinker. Gonna take it out and put a brick through it tomorrow.

Buy a CMP Garand for a bit >500
