Hi everyone! I have been very happy with my pistols and my bolt-action .22, but for a while I have wanted to get a rifle with a little more power for use at the range, and something I could use for SHTF if it really came to it. I am saving up for an AR-15 that I want, but it will be a while before I can afford it. Anyway, there is a gun show this weekend, and I saw some AK's and SKS's for a good price. But I honestly don't know much about the SKS. The dealer (who was selling both) told me that the SKS is slightly more accurate than the AK... but they were a lot more beat up so I have no idea if that is only true for new ones. I do know that the SKS uses the 10 round stripper clip rather than the AK's detachable magazine. I do eventually want an AK, but buying one now will increase the time it takes to buy the AR I really want, where the SKS is no problem. However, I don't want to buy something I will be unhappy with. Any advice?
