Bolt action or semi auto? The .22 eats cheap ammo btw, sold my 22lr a little while ago and now I'm starting to miss it, sent tens of thousands of cans to heaven w/ it too.
jamz said:The SKS is a great gun. Be aware though of two things:
10% of your overall cost is purchasing the gun
90% of your overall cost is feeding the gun for as long as you own it.
.22LR helps that equation out a lot and makes it way cheaper in the long run.
Reason I mention is because of the second thing: The cheap combloc 7.62x39 supply is drying up and the price is going up week by week.

Well the reason is deman more than anything. Your Ruskie 7.62 makers are busy filling military contracts for the Iraqi and Afghan "armies" as well as for the Ruskies and commercial use so there is just less to go around which is the real reason the price has shot up. Hopefuly when things calm down a bit in the sandboxes of the middle east, then prices will sink back down.
