Well I would settle it by saying buy both a Saiga in 7.62x39 and SKS. Two inexpensive rifles using the same kind of ammo.

Oh now you made me want to share my M59 Tapco project.
Just got the new mag last night and have not tried it out yet.

I've had my SKS for a little over a year now, its a Yugo 59/66 in excellent condition, bought it for $150.
These are great rifles, they are rugged, robust, reliable, built like tanks, and they are just plain fun. Mine will hold a 3" group out to 100 yards, the round is very effective out to 150 yards, it serves my purpose just fine. I mainly bought it for a fun range rifle and potential pest control on my property, I figure the SKS would do a number on a cyote. They are a blast.

The days of incredible gun-for-dollar value are becoming more and more distant, but it's still a good buy IMO. I enjoy my Romanian and will probably go ahead and get a Yugo before they go up too much more.

Get one! I had a Yugo and my father begged me to sell it to him until I gave in. Now I have 2 Chinese ones and like them better. A little more accurate and a lot lighter. But, they're all great. Again, get one!
