I went to a LGS the other day looking for a decent SKS to use as a HD rifle since I only have PCC's. My ADD kicked in since the store was decently stocked with long arms that I'm interested in (they had a few nice handguns that I want as well, but I did my best to ignore those.
They had: a nice stock Norinco SKS for about $450. I have a few hundred rounds of 7.62x39 so hunting for ammo wouldn't be an issue.
A Universal M1 Carbine for $550? (I forgot the exact price). I also have a few hundred rounds of 30 Carbine from tears ago when I owned an M1. However I do not have an M1 mags. I know its close to being a PCC, but its a slightly better combat rifle than my 9mm or 357 mag Carbines.
They also had a few budget 5.56 AR's ranging from an $360 Olympic Arms that was on sale, a $450 DPMS, to a $599 M&P. I have no mags or ammo at all.
There were other interesting rifles as well like a Ruger Mini 14 Ranch and an American Ranch in 7.62x39 (this is on my short list on guns I really want)
I went off the rails of my own quest and put a down payment on a Rossi Circuit Judge (long story), but I do want a higher powered rifle.
So what would you choose and why?
