I like my Chinese SKS a lot. My only regret for that gun was not picking up the scope that goes on the factory installed mount because I have not seen a scope for my rifle in 10 years. Another regret is not having a gun safe 10 years ago which would have prevented my Russian SKS from walking away along with a dozen 30 round AK magazines.
As for ammo, 7.62x39mm ammo is hard to find these days. I am down to a couple of Wolf spam cans, a Portuguese battle pack, 500 rounds of Norinco, and 1,000 rounds of Marlboro man Monarch ammo
. I must get more!
Personally, I would go for another Chinese SKS before I would purchase a bolt action M48A. For bolt action, I would pick the 7.62X54R Mosin Nagant.
