HI all. A little background, first. I recently purchased a PSA middy rifle kit to go with the Anderson lower I had purchased a few months before that. I've built and fired a few ARs before, but couldn't really love them. They're cheap and light and modular, and uppers can be switched out for different calibers, etc. This is probably the practical option, especially when mounting optics is concerned.
I've had a few SKSs go through my hands over the last few years. Never fired any of them, but I really liked the feel. I remember a particular Yugo SKS that I really liked. Beautiful wood and steel. Internal mag. Grenade launcher. Smelled like Hoppes and stale cigarette smoke. Loads of character. But I have no experience with combloc weapons or the 762x39 round whatsoever.
Either one would necessarily be a range toy, a Wisconsin woods deer rifle, and an investment. I'm leaning towards trading my AR stuff for a nice SKS, but wanted to know what others think.
