The thing they are really perfect for is throwing in the back of the closet, or safe, or hanging on the wall.
There are much better platforms out there if you just want to shoot.

The SKS is a perfect rifle for an illiterate peasant soldier.
For the rest of a us, i's a good "all-rounder", sort of a jack-of-all-trades. The ammo is cheap enough for plinking, the round is adequate for deer hunting, it'll hold the line if SHTF, and it will hold up to a great deal of neglect. As others have said, a good truck gun.
I'll have my Yugo in nine days!!

It has been said that if Hi-Points were $1,500 and Kimbers $120, who would buy the Hi-Point?
Well, if SKS's are $150 and Ruger Mini-30's are $450, who would buy the Ruger? I mean come on, the Mini-X rifles are no more accurate than the SKS, as a general rule out of the box (no anecdotes about some of those out there which are better). Sure, you can make the Ruger more accurate for more money, but then you are really getting out of the realm of the ranch rifle.
So, why bother buying the Ruger (except for the very good reason of buying USA) at 3 times the price when the SKS does the exact same thing?

I picked up a Chinese Paratrooper at a show this weekend. Now I've got the "perfect" size SKS. Handles very nice, & I would most definitely pay for one of these even at $240 than buy the Ruger. I friend bought a NIB Ruger Mini14 & has not been able to make the rifle reliable (although he doesn't shoot it often). The picture below is only so so, but until I get around to taking another, it is all I have.
