For the first time in my life the thought of selling one of my firearms, my sks. I don't shoot it, it's just a cheap chinese model, and I really don't care for the way it looks. I took it out the other day, shot about 20 rounds through it and moved on to another gun.
The thing is, I inherited this gun from my father. I took my second deer with this rifle which was my first one shot drop. I have a lot of memories with this rifle, but it was always a love/hate relationship. My dad didn't buy it because he wanted an SKS. He went to a gun store looking for a dirt cheap rifle that could kill a deer in the swamps of the wisconsin northwoods and the sks was what he ended up with.
I tell myself that with a new stock, trigger job and some sort of scout optic would make it into a shooter, but no amount of money will ever make it outshoot my tikka.
From a little bit of time on gunbroker, it seems like $200-$250 is the going rate for my sks. I would have to put the money towards something else. I would have to have something to show for it. It would be a chunk towards a first handgun or reloading setup.
