Hi there guys. I'm trying to decide between various budget milsurp rifles for my first ever centerfire rifle. Right now, I'm kind of erring towards either an SKS or an MN.
My main worry with an SKS is the round, I don't consider an assault rifle cartridge to be an ethical hunting cartridge. They seem a little underpowered for a quick kill, y'know?
My main reason for a MN would be the price. For $100, I could have a rifle, a scope, and a couple boxes of ammo. My main worry with this rifle is the safety -- from what I've seen and what I've heard, the safety is virtually impossible to work.
Do any of you hunt with a milsurp?
TIA for any info,
Wolfe.
