Looking to get another rifle, plinking and target, probably not used for hunting. 50-100 yards, iron sights. $350 would be about the limit, leaves me $$$ for ammo or reloading supplies. I am probably a month away from making the purchase, so I am trying to narrow down my options.
I have a Mosin Nagant M44. It is fun for the blast factor, but after 2 magazines it gets old, real fast. So I am looking for more of an intermediate round.
I also reload so ammo costs are not a huge concern.
I have a C&R and don't have an SKS...I know...top of the list. Plus they are drying up and not getting any cheaper.
I've always liked lever actions so I was considering a .30-30.
I like the looks of the Saiga.
I think that the SKS makes the most sense and will probably be the most accurate for the ranges indicated. Saiga has the most possibility. The .30-30 has the most nostalgia/history.
What else am I missing in intermediate cartridge offerings in the $350 or less range?
