Great...
thanks for the advice Mike. It helped make my decision. I bought the SKS from gunsmith friend. It's glass bedded, everything refined and polished. I have 2 upper receiver covers, one with scope one with the peep sight assembly mounted. It takes about 3 seconds to change between them.
I appreciate the answers, guys. I'm going deer hunting for the first time, you know, trying to do the male-bonding thing with my Uncle and granddad. We do goose and dove everyear but the deer will be new this year.
BTW, mike I got your email and I'll get back to you today or tommorow.
