Honestly, in the price range, the PSL is hard to beat. You can scope it (with any scope you want by using a BP-02 adapter), it has iron sights, it has a detachable magazine, it has a muzzle brake, it's lightweight, and it fires a round comparable to .30-06. Recoil is very mild and comfortable. The ammunition also isn't that expensive. It's basically a complete package. There's lots of options out there, but for the value, it's a good choice.
