Default Re: Rifle - iron sights - what should I get.

Since 7.62 x 39 is an option, how about an SKS in it's original wood stock option?

I used to have an M1 Carbine made by IBM. It was a really nice little gun, with the aftermarket 30 rnd mags it was lots of fun. Not sure how cheap ammo is for the carbine though. I guess for you guys in the USA its probably cheap and available.

Mini 14 is nice but the 556 version suffers from barrel whip. Rebarelling is an option but can be expensive. Some people have actually experienced an increase in accuracy just by cutting the barrel down a bit this actually aleviates the whip.
